With 18 pans, a single sketch session can usually be finished without going back to mix custom tones, and the colors stay distinct enough that you can identify them at a glance even in the closed box. The pans rewet instantly with a wet brush and load high pigment with very little water.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe pigments are bound in gum arabic and behave like modern pan watercolors while keeping the matte, slightly chalky finish of classical Japanese paint. The 18 color names are all drawn from Nihon no Dentōshoku, the traditional Japanese color vocabulary that ties each tone to a plant, mineral, or natural scene, so the palette also serves as a small primer in this older way of describing color.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBoku-Undo has been making sumi in Nara since 1805. Its Gansai line continues that two-century craft in pan watercolor form. With 18 pans, this set is enough for finished etegami, full watercolor sketches, sumi-e color work, and small botanical studies.

The workshop still produces traditional ink sticks that are ground by hand on inkstones, but it also experiments steadily at the edges of that tradition: liquid sumi for brush painting, gansai-style watercolors, and these pan watercolors that translate the depth of soot into a format closer to a sketchbook.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat stays constant across every Boku-Undo product is the company's relationship with carbon. Sumi at its best is not simply black; it carries temperature, weight, and a settled quality that lets a single brushstroke read as both shadow and atmosphere.

The Cordoba is a waxed eucalyptus paper finished in a warm reddish-brown with a matte, leather-like hand feel. It looks like tanned leather but stays lightweight and resists tearing and scratching through daily carry: a paper cover for a paper notebook, with no branding to interrupt the surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat this cover changes is stability. A soft cover lets the pages bounce when you write on your lap or standing with the notebook in one hand, and that bounce is where fountain-pen control falls apart. The hard Cordoba board removes it. With steady backing under the page, the interior MD PAPER does what it does best: at 80 gsm and a warm cream tone, it gives noticeable surface tooth that feeds the nib without catching, so you get real tactile feedback and cleaner letterforms even away from a table.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor wet writers the paper behaves the way the MD line is known for. Everyday nibs lay down ink with zero feathering and no bleed-through, dry times stay quick, and the cream-ivory tone flatters shading inks and saturated colors rather than washing them out the way a stark white can. The notebook inside is thread-stitched with the line's visible cheesecloth mesh tape along the spine, so it opens flat to a full 180 degrees. Made in Japan, the cover and the interior share the same paper-first philosophy. The A5 MD Notebook it fits holds 176 pages (88 sheets), and the A5 Square offers the same MD PAPER in a near-square format that suits sketching, lists, and wider layouts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOver time the Cordoba creases and softens into a patina that is part of the design rather than wear to avoid. The aged, scrunched character deepens with handling, so a cover carried for a year reads differently from a new one, in the wabi-sabi spirit the MD line draws on. If you want a cover that stays pristine this is worth knowing going in; if you like an object that records its own use, it is the appeal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBrowse more \u003ca style=\"color: rgb(18, 102, 56);\" title=\"Japanese notebooks at Komorebi Stationery\" href=\"https:\/\/komorebistationery.live\/collections\/japanese_notebooks\"\u003eJapanese notebooks\u003c\/a\u003e or the rest of our \u003ca style=\"color: rgb(18, 102, 56);\" title=\"Midori MD Notebooks and journals\" href=\"https:\/\/komorebistationery.live\/collections\/midori-notebooks-journals\"\u003eMidori notebooks and journals\u003c\/a\u003e to pair this cover with the right refill.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eDetails\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSize (Closed):\u003cbr\u003eA5 - 6.2\" × 8.5\" (15.8 cm × 21.6 cm)\u003cbr\u003eA5 Square - 6.0\" × 6.1\" (15.2 cm × 15.5 cm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCover Material: Cordoba (waxed eucalyptus paper)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFits: A5 and A5 Square MD Notebook\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight:\u003cbr\u003eA5 - 5.4 oz (154 g)\u003cbr\u003eA5 Square - 3.9 oz (111 g)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrand: Midori (MD PRODUCT)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eDiscover Midori: The Brand Behind the MD Notebook\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMidori, founded in 1950 in Japan, began its journey by producing letter paper and envelopes.

MD Paper is an uncoated, wood-pulp stock at roughly 80 g\/m² (Midori notes the weight can vary by about 10 percent, so a given pad may run closer to 70 gsm). Feathering and bleed-through are close to non-existent, and because the surface absorbs ink at a moderate rate, lines stay crisp while drying time stays medium and noticeably quicker than something like Tomoe River, which keeps smudging down for fast note-takers. The paper still shows real sheen and shading, and ghosting on the reverse is moderate and rarely a problem for single-sided notes. The writing feel sits between smooth and lightly toothed, with enough texture to give the nib contact without dragging, and the warm cream ivory tone is easy on the eyes and does not distort ink colors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat sets the block apart is the binding: it is glued along the top edge only, so each sheet tears away cleanly when you want to file a note or hand it off, making it a tear-off pad rather than a bound book. Made in Japan, it measures a compact 4-inch cube and weighs about 408g, dense enough to write on in the hand yet small enough to live on a desk corner, in a bag, or in a drawer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBrowse more \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/komorebistationery.live\/collections\/japanese_notebooks\" style=\"color: rgb(18, 102, 56);\" title=\"Japanese notebooks at Komorebi Stationery\"\u003eJapanese notebooks\u003c\/a\u003e or see the full range of \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/komorebistationery.live\/collections\/midori-notebooks-journals\" style=\"color: rgb(18, 102, 56);\" title=\"Midori MD notebooks and journals\"\u003eMidori notebooks and journals\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eDetails\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSize: 3.9\" × 3.9\" × 2.0\" (100 mm × 100 mm × 51 mm), cube block\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSheets: 500 per pad\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRuling: Blank, Lined (7mm light grey), or Grid (5mm light blue)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePaper: MD Paper, cream-toned wood pulp\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePaper Weight: 80 g\/m² (varies up to about 10%)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBinding: Glued along the top edge only; sheets tear off cleanly\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 14.4 oz (408 g)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrand: Midori (MD PRODUCT)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eDiscover Midori: The Brand Behind the MD Notebook\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMidori, founded in 1950 in Japan, began its journey by producing letter paper and envelopes.

It holds 90 sheets of 75 gsm paper with no ruling at all, an open expanse that reflects MD PRODUCT's idea of yohaku, the blank space that gives you room to face your own thoughts.

The longer, narrower cotton fibers give the surface a faint tooth and a gentle resistance that cushions the nib and forgives a heavy hand, though it also draws a noticeably wider line than standard MD and softens the sheen and shading that vivid inks can show on less absorbent stock. Feathering is essentially absent and dry time sits in the medium range. Worth knowing before you fill a page: with heavy ink loads from a rollerball or a broad nib, the cotton shows more ghosting and minor bleed-through than standard MD, so it suits single-sided writing better than dense double-sided work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe binding is built for writing anywhere.

It sits in the MD PRODUCT line whose idea is that pausing moves you forward, where a little blank space is treated as room to think rather than something to fill. The pad is sized for short, deliberate notes and brief letters, with the ruling set vertically so a few measured lines carry more weight than a full page would.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat fountain pen writers notice first is the surface. MD PAPER has a subtle matte finish that gives gentle nib feedback, not the glassy slickness of coated stocks and not the dry scratch of cheap copy paper. Wet ink generally stays where you put it, with minimal feathering and limited show-through, so a broad nib laying down a saturated line reads cleanly rather than spidering at the edges. The warm cream tone softens the contrast against dark ink, which is easier on the eyes than stark white and tends to flatter the shading and sheen of blues, teals, and browns.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt roughly 3.1 by 6.7 inches the pad is pocket and bag friendly, and the soft grey vertical lines keep handwriting front and centre without stamping a loud grid over your words. The 50 sheets are top glue-bound, so a finished note tears away from the head of the pad in one clean motion while the remaining stack stays flat and square.

It belongs to MD PRODUCT's Message Letter Pad family, and where the standard pad uses regular MD PAPER, this version trades a little of that paper's clean snap for a softer, slightly cushioned touch, while keeping the same warm cream tone and understated grey ruling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor fountain pen users, the appeal is in how the surface meets a wet nib. MD PAPER is known for a subtle matte finish that gives gentle feedback rather than glassy slickness, and the 20 percent cotton content adds a faint tooth that suits medium and broad nibs laying down more ink. Feathering and show-through stay minimal, so lines read crisp and shading reads clearly. The cream, ivory tone is easier on the eyes than bright white over a long sitting and flatters ink color, and cotton blends resist yellowing, which matters for a card written to be saved.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe format is built for short, deliberate writing. At a compact 80 by 170 mm in a vertical orientation, the pad slips into a bag or coat pocket and frames a note rather than inviting a sprawling essay. The grey lines give structure without shouting over your hand, and the top glue-bound construction lets each of the 50 sheets tear away cleanly along the bound edge.

Genuine urushi hardens with humidity rather than drying like paint, and it turns more translucent with handling, so the figure of the wood surfaces more clearly the longer you carry it. In Brown, the barrel wears clear raw urushi and shows the wood's own color. The tinted versions are translucent colored urushi (iro-urushi) named for the nature of Fukui: arakon, the deep indigo of a winter sea; nezuzora, an overcast grey; shinryoku, a deep green; and benisabi, a rusted red.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKeyaki, or Japanese zelkova, is a hard, heavy hardwood in the elm family, long used for temple beams, chests, and the bodies of taiko drums.

It takes a standard, replaceable refill, so it stays a working pen for years rather than a display piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe finish is fuki-urushi, natural lacquer wiped thin into the bare wood and cured between coats, so the grain reads through the surface instead of being painted over. Genuine urushi hardens with humidity rather than drying like paint, and it turns more translucent with handling, so the figure of the wood surfaces more clearly the longer you carry it. In Brown, the barrel wears clear raw urushi and shows the wood's own color. The tinted versions are translucent colored urushi (iro-urushi) named for the nature of Fukui: arakon, the deep indigo of a winter sea; nezuzora, an overcast grey; shinryoku, a deep green; and benisabi, a rusted red.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTochi, or Japanese horse chestnut, is a lighter, fine-textured wood prized for a soft, rippling shimmer that Japanese woodturners call chijimi-moku. Where the zelkova pencil reads bold and linear, the horse chestnut catches light in gentle waves that shift as you turn the pen. The body stays slim, about 14 mm at its widest and near 20 g in the hand, with a quiet knock and a replaceable standard 4C refill in black oil-based ink.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you prefer pencil, the same slim wooden pen body is made as a mechanical pencil in a different wood.
