About this item

• A BELOVED PLANNER FROM JAPAN (ENGLISH EDITION / A5 SIZE) – Since its debut in Japan in 2002, the Hobonichi Techo has been loved by users around the world, with over one million copies sold annually. Each day is given a full page, offering plenty of space within its compact A5 size. The graph paper layout makes it easy to organize your thoughts, clippings, and sketches. Compact and easy to carry in A5 (or A6) size, it’s a versatile planner that fits into your daily life.
• DESIGNED FOR WRITING COMFORT – Many users keep the Hobonichi Techo on their desk or table for everyday planning, while others carry it around for convenience. The 3.7 mm graph paper is designed for comfortable writing and can be customized freely, with light-colored lines that won’t distract. Each month is printed in a different color for easy reference.
• 180° LAY-FLAT BINDING / DAILY QUOTES – The book opens flat without needing you to hold down the pages, enabled by thread-stitch binding—a method that sews the pages together with thread. This binding also makes the Techo very durable and secure. Each page features a carefully selected quote from its parent, the beloved Japanese web magazine "Hobonichi".

The Tomoe River paper designed for planners is known for its thinness and smooth writing surface. However, depending on the type and amount of ink or pen used—as well as environmental conditions—some ink may bleed through or take longer to dry. We recommend testing your pens on an inconspicuous area first, or using a pencil board or blotting paper for best results.
