Hobonichi Techo Original - Summary

This original form of the Hobonichi Techo has been loved by many users since its introduction in 2002. Its daily pages offer plenty of space to fill despite the book’s compact A6 size. The graph paper offers an open layout for you to neatly lay out writings, clippings, and drawings. The daily quotes (Japanese) also provide users with interesting reading material. The book is designed to be paired with a cover of your choice.


Book cover

The front of the planner book is made of strong card stock with a soft ivory hue, and features the label “HOBONICHI TECHO 2022 original” printed in gray letters if the book’s weekly calendars start on Monday and red if they start on Sunday. The April-start version includes the label “spring.” 

Convenient, portable A6 size

The 105 x 148 mm (roughly 4”x 6”) A6 size is light and portable, making it easy to carry around and pull out anytime.

Perfect planner paper

The thin, light paper, called Tomoe River paper, is strong, resistant to bleeding, and allows ink to dispense smoothly across the paper — an ideal choice for a planner.

180-degree lay-flat binding

Special stitch-binding allows the planner to lay completely flat without having to hold it down.

Rounded corners

The page corners are rounded to minimize creasing and damage to the edges when carried around or stored in a bag.

Serial number

Serial numbers on the inside back cover give each planner a unique identity and make your planner your very own special book.
