Hobonichi Techo Accessories Hobonichi Pencil Board - Weeks (Navy x Pink)
  • These pencil boards are specially fitted for the A6 Planner/Original size, A5 Cousin size, and Weeks size. Keeping it underneath the page you’re writing on allows the reinforcement to provide an enjoyable writing experience. The pencil board is recommended for users who have filled their inner cover pockets with thick items or users who write with a lot of pressure and leave indentations on the opposite pages.
  • The board has a graph pattern ruled into 5-millimeter squares, with one side further labeled by millimeter to act as a metric ruler, and a “Today” tab on the corner to mark the current page if you’d like to use it as a bookmark as well. This pencil board has a chic color combination of navy and pink. The pink adds cuteness to the calming navy.
  • The following designs are also available: Hobonichi Pencil Board for A6 size / A5 size / Weeks (ONE PIECE magazine: Memories), Hobonichi Pencil Board for A6 size / A5 size / Weeks (The Aristocats), Hobonichi Pencil Board for A6 size / A5 size / Weeks (101 Dalmatians), and Hobonichi Pencil Board for A6 size / A5 size / Weeks (Gurunpa’s Kindergarten).

Hobonichi Techo Day-Free Book [Japanese/A5/January 2023 Start/Monday Start/Graph Paper Notebook]
  • The Day-Free Original Size is an A5 size monthly techo that is split into two main parts: monthly calendars and a graph-paper notebook. The book fits nicely into covers designed for the standard Hobonichi Techo Cousin. Because the book is half the size of the full-year Cousin, it’s also light and portable. The monthly calendar is the same calendar you’ll find in the standard Original book, designed with graph paper to make it easy to use.
  • The 2023 edition will contain entries for December 2022 through March 2024. The blank graph paper notebook contains a total of 171 pages and is comprised of 3.7 mm squares. Each page is numbered. You can fill in as much as you want at a time without feeling constricted to dates. Keep a journal, draw a picture or graph, paste in ticket stubs, scribble on the pages, and fill the pages with capricious whims or meticulous plans — it’s all up to you.
  • The Day-Free blank notebook section includes the Hobonichi Techo’s characteristic daily quotes in Japanese. The bottom right corner of each spread features a flipbook comic titled “One Pencil,” illustrated by 100%ORANGE. The Hobonichi Techo Day-Free has special stitch-binding that allows the book to lay completely flat without having to hold it down. Starting with the 2023 edition, we changed the packaging from plastic to paper. You can take a peek at the techo book from the window.

HOBONICHI Techo Accessories Plain Notebook (A5) - Yamazakura
  • After many years of customer requests for a plain notebook that feels just like the Hobonichi Techo, the Hobonichi Plain Notebook made an appearance from 2019. For the Hobonichi Techo Spring 2023 lineup, we added cover designs in collaboration with the botanical illustration by Dr. Tomitaro Makino, a botanist known as the Father of Japanese Botany.
  • This notebook has Tomoe River paper, opens completely flat, and contains graph paper divided into 4 colors. The Tomoe River paper is the same thin, durable paper as that used in the Hobonichi Techo. This allows the 288-page book to stay at a mere 10mm thick, giving you plenty of room to fill to your heart’s content.
  • The 3.7 millimeter graph paper is also the same as that of the Japanese-edition Hobonichi Techo Original. The color of the ink on the page changes every 72 pages (red / blue / green / purple), making it easy to split the book into several themes or use the colors as a way to more easily find old entries.
  • [Size] A5 size (W: 148 x H: 210 x T: 10 mm / W: 5.8" x H: 8.3" x T: 0.4") *Actual book size may vary slightly
  • [Weight] Approx. 278g [Pages] 288 pages / The color of the ink on the page changes every 72 pages (red / blue / green / purple) [Binding] Stitch-binding [Paper Type] Thin, light Tomoe River paper resistant to bleeding and designed for planners.

  • This weekly calendar is a supplement to the A6 Hobonichi Techo Planner / Original.
  • Each two-page spread covers an entire week, and the booklet covers an entire year. Each daily column includes a full 24-hour timeline and three checkboxes at the top.
  • The booklet is thin, also uses Tomoe River paper, lays completely flat, and fits perfectly into a cover pocket due to its slightly smaller size than the planner book.
  • [Size] W: 95 mm x H 140 mm x T: 4 mm / W: 3.7" x 5.5" x 0.2" [Weight] Approx. 49 g [Main Material] Paper (Tomoe River Paper)

  • This set of 3 memo pads is designed to fit perfectly into the back pocket or inside of an A6 Hobonichi Techo Planner / Original cover. Pages are made with the same thin and strong Tomoe River paper from the planner book. The 3.7 mm plain graph paper allows ample writing space, with perforations on each sheet to make it easy to rip out for those important notes to pass on.
  • It's also useful as a notebook around town. The page size is slightly smaller than that of the planner, which makes it easy to pull out a sheet and paste it onto one of your planner pages. The memo pads come in three fun colors.

Hobonichi Techo Original Book [Japanese/A6/January 2023 Start/Monday Start/6-months x 2books]
  • We first introduced the Avec in response to customers who struggled with bulging books after collecting a year’s worth of pasted material in the daily pages. The Avec splits the year into books of six months each. Book 1 (January–June) is a bright lime yellow and Book 2 (July–December) is a cool ice blue. Because it's split into two books, it’s lightWeight: which makes it easy to carry around, and it also won’t get bulky even if you paste many things into your techo.
  • The Hobonichi Techo Original Avec Books adopt special stitch-binding that allows the planner to lay completely flat without having to hold it down. From the 2023 edition, we changed the packaging from plastic to paper. You can take a peek at the techo book from the window.
