The dot grid notebook everyone keeps asking

This is the Muji Wirebound Notebook Dotted in A6 size! It has an elastic band at the side.

It uses high quality recycled paper, so inks (except for alcohol or permanent marker inks) doesn’t bleed through, but some inks definitely ghosts a bit, and you can use fountain pen inks on this paper.

I’m currently using it as a swatch book, all pens I’ve used on this paper glides nicely. The A5 size would work better as a journal if anyone is planning to use it as a bujo.

... Read moreYou know that feeling when you find a notebook that just gets you? That's exactly how I feel about Muji's dotted wirebound notebooks. While my initial post touched on the A6 size being perfect for ink swatches, I wanted to dive a little deeper into why these notebooks are a total game-changer for anyone into stationery, journaling, or just good old note-taking. First off, let's talk about the paper quality – it's truly remarkable, especially for its price point. The original article mentioned it uses high-quality recycled paper, and this isn't just marketing fluff. I've put mine through the wringer with various pens. For fountain pen users, this is a dream! Most fountain pen inks glide on beautifully, and while you might get a tiny bit of ghosting (where the ink shows through slightly on the other side), I've experienced virtually no bleed-through, even with wetter inks. This is a huge win, letting you utilize both sides of the page without worry. I've also tried gel pens, ballpoints, and even some fine-liner brush pens; they all perform exceptionally well, leaving crisp lines. The OCR mentioned "highlighter swatches" – yes, even highlighters behave nicely, showing minimal feathering, which you can see up close on the dotted notebook page. The 'dotted' grid format is another reason for its immense popularity, perfectly addressing the query "muji dotted notebook." It's incredibly versatile. Unlike lined paper that dictates your writing direction, or plain paper that can leave your notes looking messy, the subtle dot grid offers structure without being restrictive. It's fantastic for bullet journaling (as mentioned, an A5 would be ideal for that!), sketching diagrams, creating custom layouts for planners, or even just keeping your handwriting neatly aligned. For my ink swatches, the dots act as perfect guides for creating uniform boxes and labels. Speaking of sizes, the A6 (like my brown cover notebook) is a portable powerhouse. It slips easily into any bag, making it perfect for capturing ideas on the go, quick daily logs, or yes, my beloved ink swatching. If you're pondering a more dedicated journal or planner, the A5 size is definitely the way to go, offering more space for elaborate layouts and longer entries, a great option for those searching for a "muji grid book" for extensive use. For those specifically looking for a "muji a6 notebook," this compact size is truly invaluable. And let's not forget the wirebound design. This feature might seem small, but it's crucial. It allows the notebook to lay perfectly flat, whether open to a single page or folded back on itself. This is incredibly practical for writing or drawing without wrestling with a binding, especially when you're using it on a compact surface or need both hands free for other tasks, like dipping a pen for a swatch! For anyone looking for a reliable, high-quality, and aesthetically pleasing notebook that won't break the bank, Muji's dotted wirebound range is consistently at the top of my recommendation list. Whether you're a student, an artist, a journaler, or just someone who appreciates good stationery, these notebooks offer a blend of functionality and minimalist charm that's hard to beat. It's truly a versatile staple for any stationery addict!
