Imported from Japan, Midori Spiralbound Notebooks are available in four sizes with three different paper types to allow your imagination to take the driver seat. Midori uses animal icons on each spiral ring notebook series for easy identification. Use this guide to find the right notebook for you:

• Polar Bear – Blank, pure white MD paper, resistant to ink bleed-through. Imagine a polar bear treading across a blank, pure white snow field. (4 sizes available)
• Honey Bee – The inside sheets are instead envelopes each with an open window for keeping photos, stamps, cards, or anything you collect and want to keep. Remember this series as honey bees ‘collect’ honey, you ‘collect’ memories and miscellaneous items. (2 sizes available)
• Kangaroo – Cream colored MD paper, resistant to ink bleed-through, are constructed as internal pockets for receipts, notes, miscellaneous pieces of paper, or anything else you care to keep close. Hop around with pockets just like a kangaroo does with this series. (2 sizes available)
