Midori Letter Pad Winter Fruit
The quiet beauty of winter on paper
The Midori Letter Pad Winter Fruit belongs to Midori’s Paper Series, a collection dedicated to traditional Japanese paper that captures the changing seasons through refined and expressive designs. This set brings together four vividly colored winter fruits standing out against the snowflakes, creating a calm and elegant atmosphere that conveys depth and stillness even with just a few written words.
The designs feature illustrations of nandina (sacred bamboo), privet, china berry, and moonseed, four plants associated with the winter season. Each motif offers a different mood, allowing you to choose the most suitable design depending on the recipient or the message.
Traditional craftsmanship and Echizen Washi
This letter paper is made from Echizen Torinoko washi, a traditional Japanese paper refined over more than a thousand years. Known for its soft texture, durability, and naturally white tone, Echizen Torinoko offers a smooth and balanced writing experience, ideal for carefully written letters, seasonal greetings, and personal notes.
Main features
Each sheet combines the lightness and beauty of authentic Japanese washi with a seasonal design defined by the contrast between the vivid fruit colors and the white background. The set includes four different designs and a lined guide sheet, helping to keep handwriting neat and harmonious while preserving the clean, unruled surface of the paper.
