    World Folk Patternsemaki (sky)A6 Size (fits Planner and Original)

    Every year, our lineup includes covers in the popular “World Folk Patterns” series, which features motifs from all over the world. This design will be the 17th in the series, and features a traditional pattern from Japan.

    The design for this cover is based on Japanese emakimono, or ancient illustrated scrolls. The diagonal patterns help illustrate the 2D world depicted in the scrolls, which often included this motif of clouds floating in the sky. This reinvented emaki design gives the traditional art form a simple and modern look with a warm feeling that fits the senses of modern Japanese.

    The color scheme in this design features a refreshing sky blue accented with ivory white patterns and clouds. Look closely and you’ll see slight smudges among the clouds to give them a fluffy look. The cover interior and pen holders are a calming shade of brown known as “fox brown” in Japanese. This cover design is not too flashy and fits perfectly into your daily life.

    The matte polyester cover material has a coarse feel that’s comfortable to the touch.

    Please Read Before You Buy

    In order to provide you with the most satisfaction for your product, we've compiled a list of warnings, potential issues, and tips to keep in mind for this particular product.
    Please be sure to read this information carefully before placing your order.

    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 there may be slight differences.

    Design may contain smudges or uneven coloring

    During the print process, patterns may contain spots where the color has become smudged or uneven.

    Black or white dots on the cover

    On rare occasions, there may be small black or white dots visible on the cover. This is an unavoidable aspect of the manufacturing process.

    Outer pocket pattern may not align perfectly

    The outer pocket is designed to align with the pattern beneath it, but pattern alignments may be imperfect due to the manual production process.

    Interior of cover may be loose

    The interior of the cover may not be perfectly taut due to limitations during the manufacturing process.

    Cover may attract dust

    The cover exterior contains a raised-nap finish that may attract dust or other particles. You can use a lint roller to clean the cover, but be sure to avoid using tape with excessively strong adhesive as this may damage the material.

    Sliding no-slip pens into the pen holder

    Pens with rubber, non-slip grips may be difficult to slide into the pen holder.

    Maximum pen width of 13.5mm for pen holder

    The pen holder is designed to perfectly fit the 12.2mm (0.48”) diameter Jetstream pen offered as a free bonus gift with select Japanese-version Hobonichi Web Shop products. Pens with certain shapes and materials may be difficult to pull through the holder. The holder can fit pens up to 13.5mm (0.53”) in diameter.

    Avoid exposing Cover on Cover to cold temperatures

    The PVC plastic of the Cover on Cover may lose elasticity and become difficult to put on when left in cold temperatures. If this happens, we recommend letting the product sit in a warm area before applying to your cover. Please be careful when handling your Cover on Cover in cold temperatures, as it becomes more susceptible to damages if dropped or handled roughly.

    “Cover Only” price change

    Due to an increase in material costs and other unavoidable factors, starting with the 2017-edition, it has become difficult to maintain the usual price of our Colors and Faux Fabric covers. In order to maintain the price of the covers, we will be offering these covers at the usual price when bought as a set with the Hobonichi Techo book. We apologize for the trouble, but when ordering the cover without a book, we will not be able to keep that price, so Cover Only orders will cost slightly more. Please add to your cart as a “Book & Cover set” to keep the cover’s lower price.

    Color may vary slightly based on viewing screen

    The color of the product may be slightly different in actuality than compared to how it appeared on a computer or smartphone screen.
