Kenji Nakayama for Midori MD
Kenji is a Hokkaido-born, Boston-based visual artist and sign painter. After moving to the USA, he graduated from the Butera School of Art, a specialist sign-painting school. He has worked on the designs for many billboards, along with many art projects and designs for company branding.
About their artwork for Midori MD, Kenji shares: "I tend to practice on white paper, and that's what inspired me to be a part of this project. My unstructured, scribbly script expresses the way I never follow guidelines — my focus is on the rhythm of my writing and the balance between the letters and the white paper."

Midori MD PAPER x Misc-store Amsterdam
MD Paper is Midori’s pride when it comes to the art of making paper. Ever since Midori made MD Paper in the 1960’s, they have applied the Japanese ‘Kaizen’ principle — meaning they are continuously looking for ways to improve its quality. The result is paper that will not stain, or bleed and is fantastic to write on, especially with a fountain pen.
Not only the paper itself has been developed carefully, also the method of binding deserves an explanation. The MD Notebooks are bound by means of stitching; a large sheet of papier is folded into a bundle of 16 pages. Then, such bundles are bound with thread. To honor this method of binding, Midori has left the cover uncovered, so its spine exposes the cheesecloth tape, which is used to reinforce the bound paper. This method enables the notebook to open entirely flat, ensuring ease of writing, without a bumpy middle.
At Misc-store Amsterdam, we proudly carry Midori MD PAPER's entire range of notebooks and accessories. Visit our store in Amsterdam to have a look at their collection.
