Handwriting can be as personal as a fingerprint and as expressive as a dance. Celebrate National Handwriting Day with us; consider January—and the new year—as a chance to get back to the rhythm and flow of writing. Here are a few awesome products that we heartily recommend:

What makes Midori MD Notebooks so special? There’s the paper, for starters. The MD paper was developed for Midori’s original diary in the 1960s, and has been constantly improved upon to this day to create even higher-quality writing paper. Resistant to bleeding and strikethrough, it is designed for comfortable writing, and it also has the perfect balance between smoothness and a little resistance, ensuring comfort and making writing a pleasure. Midori MD Notebooks utilize threaded binding, with 16-page quires bound at the back with thread. Threaded binding makes the pages both robust and easy to open. Usually used for items such as notebooks and journals that will be used for a long time, this binding’s ability to open to a full 180 degrees provides the ultimate comfort when writing, making writing a stress-free experience from start to finish. Each notebook has 176 pages, a Parafin paper cover, a bookmark string, thread-stiched book binding, and label stickers.
