Important information

Colors on the screen may differ from actual product
Actual products are featured in all posted photographs,
but please note that colors may vary slightly from how it appears
on your computer monitor.
All covers are hand-made and may contain slight variances
Each and every cover is individually sewn by a factory worker
hand-operating a sewing machine. Best efforts are made to
ensure consistent sizes and specifications, but as these
products are hand-made, covers are not made as exact copies.
Leather covers may contain wrinkles and marks
In order to allow customers the enjoyment of all-natural leather,
the leather is processed in a way that retains its original feel.
This may leave imperfections visible on the surface of the cover,
such as wrinkles, scratches, stains, or vein marks.
Depending on the conditions in which the cover is used,
natural oils of the leather may emerge and appear as wrinkles.
We ask for your understanding for these naturally-occurring
characteristics of genuine leather.
Overstuffing the cover may result in tears
The Zippers cover series is designed to store tools, documents,
and other stationary together with the planner book. Attempts
to close the cover when it contains too many items may damage
the zipper or material. Please avoid storing more than the cover
can hold, so the zipper can close easily.
Foil may peel over prolonged use
The leather used in Champagne Gold is manufactured with a
layer of foil to enhance the luster of the gold. Rubbing and
scratching the surface may cause the foil to peel away, so
please use with care.
Wrinkles appear the edges of the outer pockets
Please note that the edges of outer pocket contain unavoidable
small wrinkles caused by the overlap of material when sewing
on the extra pocket.
If your cover gets wet
Immediately dab your cover with a dry cloth if it gets wet.
Avoid drying it with high temperatures, and place it
in a well-ventilated place in the shade.
Avoid storing in hot and humid places
Please avoid storing your cover in hot, humid places or placing
it on potentially adhesive substances for long periods of time
as this may result in lower product quality and color stains.
Please use caution when storing.
Caring for your leather cover
These covers are very delicate, so please use caution when
maintaining them. Gently wiping your cover with a soft, dry cloth
occasionally will be sufficient. For removing stains and other
routine care to extend the life of your leather, we recommend
using the Leather Care Kit available in the Hobonichi Store.
Hobonichi has partnered with R&D Co., Ltd. to provide
customers with critically-acclaimed leather care products.
New covers are slightly rigid before use
Depending on the material of your cover, it may be slightly
rigid upon arrival. You may have a slightly difficult time inserting
your planner or closing the cover, but when you use the cover as
usual, it will naturally break in and grow comfortable over time.
Light-colored covers show smudges more easily
While some covers are water-repellent, smudges and marks
are unavoidable from using the cover on a daily basis.
Smudges show up more easily on light-colored covers,
so please keep this in mind when placing your order.
Inserting your planner into your cover
When inserting your planner book into your cover, it will be easier to begin by sliding the left side of the book
into the left pocket, and then inserting the right side.
Pen holder
Hobonichi Techo covers come with pen holders that
keep the pages shut. This holder may be rigid upon
initial use, making pen insertion slightly difficult, but
kneading the pen holder open will make it easier to use.
Depending on the material of the cover, pens with
rubber grips may be difficult to slide into the holder.
Using fountain pens
Writing on the planner’s Tomoe River paper with a fountain
pen may result in ink bleeds or transfers from wet ink.
When using water-based inks, we recommend testing the
pen on an inconspicuous place in the book before using.
