For anyone who loves the art of handwriting, this Midori paper pad is a must-have. It comes with a clever underlay sheet: one side lined for horizontal writing, the other lined for vertical Japanese writing. Slip it under your page and your notes will come out looking effortlessly straight- no visible guide lines left behind.

The pad is made with Midoris famous MD Paper, known worldwide as one of the best for writing and correspondence. We tested it with fountain pens, dip pens, pencils, and brush pensno bleed-through, no feathering. The paper is opaque enough that you can easily use both sides without distraction.

As a bonus, Midori included two paper tones in one pad: 25 sheets of crisp white paper in the front and 25 sheets of classic cream in the back, giving you options for different moods or projects. A sturdy chipboard backing keeps everything firm and smooth while you write.
