On Friday, August 3, 2018, our product brand, MIDORI™, will release the 2019 editions of MD Notebook Diary and MD Notebook Diary 1 Day 1 Page. These Diaries are based on MD Notebook™, the brand’s quality notebooks designed and made for the maximum comfort in writing, and will come in four sizes for MD Notebook Diary: A6 size - 900 yen plus tax; B6 Slim size - 1,000 yen plus tax; A5 size - 1,100 yen plus tax; and A4 Variant size - 2,000 yen plus tax, as well as two sizes for MD Notebook Diaries 1 Day 1 Page: A6 size - 2,300 yen plus tax; and A5 size - 3,500 yen plus tax (*). MD PAPER PRODUCTS™ are a product series featuring MD PAPER™, an original quality writing paper we developed in the 1960s and have been improving ever since, to bring out the pleasure of writing. In 2008, seeking to provide the ultimate in writing comfort, we released the MD Notebook, which features attractive cream-colored writing paper that does not easily blot, even when using a fountain pen, and opens up flat thanks to its special binding. With a pure and simple appearance that makes the most of its materials, this product is appreciated by countless users who insist on the best comfort in writing. First released in 2009, MD Notebook Diary is based on the MD Notebook and consists of monthly scheduling pages of square blocks, 2-page spreads broken into eight sections by horizontal ruled lines, which are nice for weekly scheduling, and unruled pages for scribbling. A special feature is the monthly scheduling pages, which have ample margins around the blocks, where you can scribble down memos, ideas and make drawings as well. In addition to your monthly schedule, you can use the Diary to put your thoughts into words, jotting down memos, writing to-do lists, and adding sticky memos. The ruled memo pages can of course be used for notes, and with their eight sections can also be used to create a double-page “week to view” diary for the year. In addition, the Diary comes with an index sticker which you can paste to the spine, and a name sticker on which you can write your name, signature, or the date you began using it to be pasted on the diary’s endpaper or front. The diaries are available in the same sizes as the MD Notebooks – A6, B6 Slim, A5, and A4 Variant. The MD Notebook Diary is an attractive product that is simple and easy-to-use, and will surely stimulate the creativity of the user. MD Notebook Diary 1 Day 1 Page y consists of monthly scheduling pages, similar to those of MD Notebook Diary and 385 free pages. Each free page contains a time scheduling section from 8am to midnight on the left, and a space for diary entries and illustrations and anything else you may want to write on the left. The seven dots enable you to use the Diary according to your own personal style, including writing to-do lists or scheduling from 1 am to 7 am. Also, as the ruled lines of the previous page are slightly visible when you turn the page, you can use the faint image of these lines to guide you as you write in the margins. The product also serves as a diary, with large margins on each page, where you can write down what you experience, both factually and emotionally, every day. Dates are not printed, and you can use the pages freely within the year. The diary’s spine has the year engraved on it, and it also comes with 12 index stickers numbered from 1 through 12, so you can easily find which pages correspond to which month. The diary can become a dictionary of your own memories. By combining either of these diaries with MD Sticky Memo Pads (already available for purchase) you can further expand the ways you use these products to record what inspires you from day to day.
