About the Works

"A notebook is a place where all kinds of ideas are born and grow. When I chose these motifs, I was thinking of the way your notebook appears in many different scenes in your life—it's a part of your daily life. I used simple lines and organic text. I also incorporated the same elements as the stickers that come with the MD Notebook. The user finishes the cover by filling those parts in—write things like your name and the date. MD Notebook is smooth and makes writing easy. When you open it, it sits open at 180 degrees, so you can write calligraphy freely with nothing restricting you. I feel like my calligraphy comes out even better than usual on smooth paper like this. And seeing these versions of MD Notebook with all kinds of ideas, notes and records makes it even more fun."
