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.
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.
Color fading
Please avoid rubbing or wetting your cover as the colors may fade.
The pattern may not align across the pocket
The outer pocket is not designed to align the pattern with that of the
material below.
Using the leather handle
Carrying the planner by the cover’s leather handle may cause tearing.
Whitening of material along the stitching
Please note that there may be slightly white areas along the
stitching of the cover surface, and that this is an unavoidable
aspect of the manufacturing process.
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.
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.
