MIDORI A5 Color Dot Grid Purple Notebook
The MIDORI A5 Color Dot Grid Purple Notebook brings structure and color together in one slim notebook. Its muted purple cover opens to 56 matching pages printed with a discreet 5 mm dot grid. The color-led design gives notes, plans, sketches and journal pages a distinctive background without making the notebook difficult to use every day.
It is a practical choice for students, planners, journalers, designers and stationery enthusiasts who want an easy-to-carry notebook for a defined subject or project. The A5 format provides useful writing space while remaining compact enough for a work bag, backpack or document folder.
A coordinated purple color system
Rather than limiting color to the cover, MIDORI continues the soft purple tone across the inner paper. This creates a consistent visual identity and makes it easy to assign the notebook to a particular topic, trip, course or collection. Dark writing tools remain easy to read, while white, metallic and saturated colors can create additional contrast.
Flexible 5 mm dot grid pages
The 5 mm dots provide guidance without the visual weight of continuous ruled lines. They help align handwriting, checklists, diagrams, trackers and page divisions, yet leave enough freedom for drawing and lettering. The grid also makes it easier to position stickers, tickets and photographs neatly, supporting both functional planning and creative documentation.
Designed for creative everyday carry
Use it for meeting notes, language study, project planning, travel records, habit tracking, collage or quick sketches. The colored paper encourages different combinations of pens and pencils, although very wet inks and heavily saturated markers should first be tested on a discreet area. Inktraveler considers this format especially useful for building a color-coded set of subject notebooks.

Pens, pencils, stickers, photographs and decorative accessories shown in lifestyle images are not included. (Product photographs are for guidance; perceived color may vary slightly depending on lighting, screen settings and the individual product).

Why choose the slim purple edition
The 56-page format works well when one large notebook would mix too many unrelated subjects. Several Color Dot Grid notebooks can be assigned to separate projects and identified by their covers at a glance. The purple edition works equally well as a standalone journal or as one part of a compact color-organized system.
MIDORI and paper-based design
MIDORI began in Japan in 1950 as a producer of writing paper and envelopes. Paper and thoughtful design have remained central to the brand as its range has expanded. The Color Notebook collection reflects that background through an uncomplicated object in which color, layout and portability support personal expression rather than competing with it.
