Flashy is best! Flashy is life!

Hey, itfs Momoko. I like colors. Reds, blues, oranges, all of them. And, among them, I like neon colors the best.



I typically only wear blacks and grays, so I always want my accessories to bring that burst of vibrant color. Especially my stationery. It canft just be showy, but has to be interesting and well designed, too.

Looking at the same, flat and cold computer screen every day is, how can I say this... well, boring. So, when my eyes drift, letting them fall on something colorful perks me up. Just like listening to some music to change your mood, I think I just feel the need to look at and touch "things" with color.

This paper file is a vibrant red with a massive ! mark right in the center. It stands out more than any other file.



I bought it thinking, gIf I have this, I might come up with some great ideas!h or gThis will surely come in handy for work!h But strangely enough, once I put documents into this file, I immediately forget what I put in there. Ifve started affectionately calling it my ? file.

Old stationery is irresistible, too.


Ifm obsessed with my old stationery too. This was the stapler and magnifying glass I bought when I first headed out to work. A stylish but slightly difficult-to-handle business card case I inherited from a senior colleague. This Staedtler mechanic pencil and pair of scissors were bought because a designer I admired used them. These are all items Ifve been with for over 20 years, and I just can't let them go.

Theyfve worn with age and have become a bit harder to use, but I love that about them, too.



I keep aaaaall of these stationery items in this Doraemon ankipan (Memory bread) pouch. When you gather a bunch of flashy things in one place, it starts to look like a toy box, which I really like. Ifm truly obsessed with any stationery that makes the heart flutter with excitement.

Now, I wonder what kind of stationery the next team member is fascinated by? Look forward to it!

My pens for a techo time on the go!

Hello, Ifm Yoshida. I keep a Hobonichi 5-Year Techo, but Ifm the type who likes to save up my entries and write them all at once on the weekend.

I often spend my gtecho timeh at my favorite cafes—reading, working, or catching up on my entries. Today, Ifd like to introduce the stationery that is essential for these sessions away from home.





The best partner for my Hobonichi 5-Year Techo is the Pilot gJuice Up,h as mentioned here.



Because the space for each day in the 5-Year Techo is on the smaller side, this fine nib is just right. Itfs water-based, writes so smoothly, and I feel like it doesnft bleed through very much, either. I once had a great time chatting with about how itfs such a perfect match for the 5-Year Techo!



When I want to use a fountain pen, I reach for my gKaweco Classic Sport.h Itfs compact and perfect for carrying around. There are several nib sizes available, but I personally use the F (Fine) nib.


Since itfs quite fine, I can write to fit the grid of the 5-Year Techo like this.


I also love the design of the cap. Itfs a treasure I received from a colleague when I moved to a new job.



Since I had other work to do on this day, I also brought along some sticky notes for my todo list. These are the gSticky Memo Todo Listh by suatelier. For someone like me who is forgetful and whose thoughts tend to wander here and there, sticky notes are absolutely indispensable.

Whenever I suddenly remember a small task while working—like gOh, I need to email Mr. ZZh or gI should hand over that documenth—I jot it down on a sticky note right away. I can then move them freely between my techo, my desk, or my computer. That versatility is the best thing about sticky notes.

Thanks for reading, and please look forward to the next update!

Stationery that makes me want to write in my techo!

Hello, Ifm Mizunoya. Let me introduce my current stationery obsessions that make opening my techo even more fun.



¡Paddlers Coffee Original Daily Calendar


I wanted to try using a daily tear-off calendar in 2026, so I did a lot of searching on Instagram and happened to find this one.

The design for every single day is just wonderful, and I love the color palettes—theyfre absolutely irresistible. The paper is thin, so Ifve been enjoying pasting them into my Cousin.


Setsubun featured cute oni. Since it was a day I wrote about Ehomaki sushi rolls, I used black washi tape to give it a gseaweed-like feel.h

Tearing off a page each night as I write is so much fun. Since I know pasting it in will instantly make my techo look great, this calendar is what helps me keep going!

¡peca Labeler Roll Stickers


I bought these labeler roll stickers at a stationery shop called gpecah that I visited during a trip to Osaka in February. Anyway, they are so cute and you get such a huge amount! It was my first time buying labeler roll stickers, and every time I use them, Ifm so happy knowing therefs still so many leftc



Ifm still thinking about how to use them all, but Ifve decided to paste this gZzzh sticker on my life log page on days when I sleep for 7 hours. Ifm the type of person who needs proper sleep, so Ifm hoping that the desire to paste these stickers will stop me from staying up too late. Itfs the same logic as the stamps you get for doing radio calisthenics during the summer vacation. The laid-back style of the illustrations is also irresistibly cute.

¡ GLOO Roller Tape Adhesive


has already introduced this in her post, but I also love using this removable tape adhesive. The head swivels around to retract into the body, so you never lose the lid, and the clicking sound it makes when you move it is so satisfying that I find myself reaching for this tape glue automatically.

taught me a super duper convenient method for managing flake stickers. All you do is apply the tape glue to a notebook and stick the stickers on it. I feel like organizing them this way has increased how often I use them. Itfs wonderful to be able to see exactly which designs you have and how many of each!




Being able to lay them out like this is convenient for choosing, whether you have lots of flake stickers with similar designs or ones that are all different.

We introduced this method in detail in a Hobonichi Techo official YouTube Short, so if youfre curious, please take a look.

If you paste them on facing pages, there is a possibility that the adhesive might transfer to the other stickers when they run low, so if that concerns you, I think the single-page method shown in the video is best!

We also carry it at the Hobonichi Store, so please check it out if youfre interested.
GLOO Roller Tape Adhesive
(Currently out of stock, but we plan to restock. We will inform you on the store page as soon as details are decided.)

These were my most irresistible items. These posts are troubling me, since every time I read one, I want to buy more and more stationery but... please look forward to the teamfs other stationery obsessions.

Tool boxes that hold onto memories

Hello, Ifm Wenlai. My current eobsessionsf are definitely my tool boxes.



It was love at first sight a few years ago when I found this gNice Tool Box.h It was created as a collaboration between the stationery shop Sublo in Kichijoji, Tokyo and the illustrator Toshiyuki Fukuda.



This somewhat somber orange and the heartwarming, simple illustration... Ifm sure many of you find this quite nostalgic. When I was in elementary school, everyone used to have a tool box just like this tucked inside their desks.

Currently, I use this box in my locker at work. I use gSmall Everlasting ePaperf Bagsh as dividers to keep all those little items that tend to get scattered neatly in one place.


I feel kind of bad that none of this is related to my workc

Since Ifve stuffed it nearly to the brim, I leave the lid off and prop it up in the back.

Every day, when I stop by my locker and see the lionfs face, I feel a little sense of relief. I love it so much that I even bought a second one.





I thought it was the eLovely Tool Boxf, but it was actually the eSuper Lovely Tool Box.f This must be Toshiyuki Fukuda-sanfs own sense of humor at work. I canft get enough of it!



These are my tool boxes from home. They were originally packaging for snacks and tea. Let me introduce my eEmpty Boxf series.



My MOTHER Mr. Saturn cookie tin holds my washi tape, and my Miknits tin is packed full of stickers.

The pen case in the front, which looks quite ordinary at first glance, originally held tea bags from Ontfadore. The hibiscus tea was highly aromatic and delicious, but I canft deny that I really bought it for the tin case itself.



This paper box with its stylish font and colors holds my larger washi tapes, mini ink bottles, and the various minerals I collect as a hobby.

I first got to know the letterpress studio gLetterpress Lettersh through our collaboration on the gPrinters Drawerh drawer pouch with Mitsunobu Hosoyamada. The first floor of the studio is a caf? that sells handmade baked goods in these boxes.

I had the chance to talk with the studio staff quite a bit while staffing the letterpress shop during last yearfs Joy of Life exhibition. Apparently, even the text on these snack boxes is printed using letterpress!



Itfs not just the tool boxes I bought for their design; even the empty repurposed boxes each have their own little story. Because they hold the memory of the joy of receiving them or the deliciousness of the food inside, keeping them close by makes me feel at peace.

Please look forward to the next update!

Stationery to brighten up my techo!

Hey, Ifm Ayagi. Ifd like to introduce some of my favorite stationery that I use alongside my techo.



I usually stick to a black pen for writing, but these are the tools I reach for whenever I feel like adding a splash of color to the pages.

1. Compact Colored Pencil Set gMini Staffh

First up is this card-sized colored pencil set. Itfs incredibly tiny and just so cute!



I thought it might be hard to tell exactly how small it is from a photo alone, so I lined up a 100-yen coin next to it for scale.



Maybe itfs about the length of two coins? Even though itfs this small and adorable, itfs a complete set with 12 colored pencils, an eraser, and a pencil sharpener. Itfs so convenient for carrying around.



I love that it comes in a business-card sized case. It fits perfectly into the inner pocket of my Original A6 techo cover.



I always keep it tucked in my techo cover so that whenever the urge to draw hits me while Ifm out, I can quickly add some color. Despite their size, the colors are beautiful and vivid.

2. The gZIG Clean Color Real Brushh pens

The second item I recommend is a set of color brush pens for those times when you want to put a little more effort into your coloring.



They come in various set sizes, but I personally use the 36-color set.



Just look at how many shades of green there are! With 36 colors, youfll usually find the color youfre looking for.



Just drawing a picture with a black ballpoint pen, then adding a quick light wash of color looks pretty good, right? You can even layer the colors to create gradients. That soft, watercolor-like bleed is just irresistible.

***

Those were my current obsessions. Thank you for reading and if you ever feel like adding some color to your techo, please give these a try!

Look forward to the next post soon!

Staying organized without a struggle!

Hey, Ifm Kawabata. Are you enjoying everyone's stationery gobsessionsh? Today is my turn to join the fun! For starters, Ifd like to show you my transparent pouch I use to store my techo and stationery.

FolderSys
Multi Compartment Zip Bag A5



The charm on the zipper is the official mascot of Suginami Ward. As a former resident, Ifm still cheering him on. Come on Namisuke!!

Ifve never been very good at staying organized. When I carry small stationery items around, they tend to end up scattered everywhere—in my bag, my jacket pockets, you name it. Even though I carry plenty of sticky tabs with me, Ifd always find myself panicking because gI canft find them!h Thatfs when I started wandering around the internet and discovered this pouch.

There were two deciding factors.

1) Itfs transparent
If I canft see whatfs inside, I immediately forget about it, and checking the contents is a chore.

2) Separate pockets
Having separate groomsh (pockets) for pens, tabs, and my techo prevents anything from getting buried. It also makes taking things in and out so convenient!




There are three pockets on the front and one on the back, each with its own zipper. You only have to open the pocket you need—a true lifesaver for the lazy!

This pouch was born in Germany, and I purchased mine through the HIGHTIDE online store.

The second item I just canft resist is this set of yokai stickers!

Yokai-sha
Yokai Narabe Stickers




On the left is my Smooth: Melon Sorbet Weeks. I love the color and the way it feels!

I bought these stickers at the gKitaro Chayah (a GeGeGe no Kitaro-themed café) near Jindaiji Temple during my first shrine visit of the year.


A single sheet packed with 150 different yokai!

Their small size makes them perfect for the Weeksf monthly calendar!


An important date* for a freelancer like me. I wrote it in my techo a day early (a small lesson learned!). *Calendar's text reads: tax return

The back of the sticker sheet has a QR code for a website where you can look up the names of all the yokai. This is a relief for a total beginner like me, who only really knows the famous ones like gSunakake-babaa.hBy the way, the yokai pictured above are gSazae-onih and gKijimuna.h

Finally, Ifd like to introduce my Hobonichi Whiteboard Calendar.


My family's schedule got scribbled in the second it arrived. There's a note for the gDentisth that I would surely have forgotten otherwise.

Since I started using this last year, it has become indispensable. My schedule for the month naturally catches my eye every day, which helps me live with a bit more foresight...! Because you can write and erase freely, I can jot down tentative plans without any hesitation, which really suits my personality.


That thing is here, too. (I really should just finish it and get it over with...)

Writing this Techo News entry made me realize how grateful I am that tools like these exist—tools that allow even a scatterbrain like me to manage my belongings and my schedule. (And to the yokai: thank you for the touch of humor...)

Please continue to enjoy the gObsessed with this Stationeryh stories from the rest of the techo team!

Book companions that help me read

Hello, Ifm Uni from the Techo Team. Today, Ifd like to share my current stationery obsessions that accompany me as I read.



First of all, you canft talk about reading without mentioning bookmarks! I choose what to read based on my mood, so I often have several books going at once. Before I know it, Ifve usually put almost every bookmark I own to work. Because of that, I often open a book I haven't touched in a while and find myself saying to the bookmark inside, gOh, there you were!h Itfs a little nostalgic moment that happens quite often.

Ifm particularly fond of bookmarks with artwork or unusual designs. Ifve been steadily building my collection, both by buying them myself and receiving them as gifts.


This is Mitirufs Shippitsu-chu-no-shiori (Jp: Ž·•M’†‚Ì‚µ‚¨‚è / TL: Author at Work). Itfs a fun design that makes me curious about what comes next.


This bookmark looks like someone has spilled their coffee. The cup is so cute, I canft help but stare at it. These are just a few from my collection, but I have many more favorites. Ifd love to keep collecting all kinds of different bookmarks in the future!

Next, when I find a passage that catches my interest, I highlight it with a Pilot Kire-na highlighter.

Ifve only got time to introduce a few, but please know that there are so many more! Ifd like to carry on collecting lots of varying types too!



Itfs easy to draw clean, straight lines, and the ink dries instantly. This is a big plus because it doesn't smudge the pages, and the lines don't feel out of place when I read them back later. (Showing my actual highlighted books is a bit embarrassing, so Ifve demonstrated on the techo's daily quotes instead...)

I especially love using the basic orange so the lines jump out at me immediately. Finally, once I finish a book, I record it on the right-hand page of my 5-Year Techo.



I absolutely love blue pens. Specifically, the Blue Black from Pilotfs Juice Up series is a favorite of mine for its chic, calming, and stylish color.

I use this same pen for work, and for the longest time, I used the 0.5 mm tip. However, after trying out various options, Ifve found that the 0.4 mm size is personally just right for the Techo's graph paper grid.

First, I use the Kire-na highlighter (this one is pale blue).


Then, I write the book title and the authorfs name on top.


Below that, I write my thoughts. If there was a sentence that particularly resonated with me, Ifll highlight it first and then write the words over the top so that they stand out to me whenever I look back.



Looking at my 5-Year Techo one or five years from now and seeing how many books I've read makes me want to go back and read them all over again. Itfs this feeling, and the stationery that helps me feel it that Ifm obsessed with!

Please look forward to the next update!



Hobonichi Techo Meeting Caravan
in London, UK

Hey, itfs Hiro from the overseas sales team. Here is the report from the time the Hobonichi Techo Meeting Caravan took place in London. This is the 2nd time wefve visited London, with the first being in November, 2024.

The event took place at October Gallery, a stately and refined space located in the heart of Bloomsbury, a district known for its academic and intellectual atmosphere.


ªThe event was held on the second floor, up the stairs. While it had been drizzling the night before, the morning of the event brought a typical London cloudy sky.

The building is said to have been constructed in the 18th century, and the high ceilings create a truly historic atmosphere.



The sounds of the city fade away as you enter, making it feel as if time has stopped. Itfs a space where you can truly feel the weight of history.

This Meeting Caravan was a larger event than usual, with about 25 participants per session, totaling roughly 50 guests. Because of the larger group, we tried a new format called the gPresenter Sessions.h We invited several representatives from each session to come to the front to share the stories of their techos with the group.

At the back of the room, we set up a stationery corner where guests could freely explore various tools.


ªWe lined up stationery and Hobonichi Techo products we brought from Japan.

The schedule was designed to flow gently between listening to stories and engaging in natural conversation.

The London event was co-hosted by Hamed and Rousol from The Journal Shop, who have been carrying the Hobonichi Techo for many years.


Pictured left is Hamed, and to the right is Rousol
This new style of the Meeting Caravan was only made possible thanks to their incredible cooperation.

The event kicked off with a Hobonichi quiz corner hosted by Tak and Liam.



Their witty and rhythmic banter immediately relaxed the room and warmed up the atmosphere. Once the quiz ended, it was finally time for the Presenter Sessions!

Up first was Emily, who uses the Hobonichi Techo as an geverything journal.h



Photos, drawings, tickets, business cards, pamphlets from her travels—even tea bags at times—apparently everything they come across ends up pasted into their Hobonichi Techo.



Among the pages were photos of Emilyfs grandmother and Emilyfs own self as a child.

gI keep them there so I never forget my sense of playfulness.h
Emilyfs techo holds not only happy moments but also records of difficult times, all in one book.

gThe Hobonichi Techo is my safest, most accepting refuge.h

It is truly a gLife Book.h Seeing a whole life gathered between the covers made it feel like a time capsule prepared for their future self.

Jacqueline, a psychology researcher, spoke about discovering the gpower of recordingh through their work studying people who balance being a student with full-time caregiving.



In Jacquelinefs 2017 techo, the pages were filled with the words gInterview todayh over and over again. That was the year Jacqueline landed their current job, and their career in research and education continues to this day.

gIt might sound a little superstitious, but I canft help but feel that I am where I am today because I kept writing in my Hobonichi Techo.h

Conversely, 2020—a year where childbirth overlapped with the pandemic—was a year where Jacqueline could hardly write anything at all. Even so, Jacqueline says they even reflect warmly on these blank pages, as an expression of that specific time.

gWhenever I bring it out at work along with my business cards, people always ask, eWhat is that?fh

The Hobonichi Techo becomes a conversation starter. Many in the audience nodded in agreement, perhaps having had similar experiences themselves.

Minafs story of discovering the Hobonichi Techo in Japan in 2023 was also very moving.



During a period of struggling with perfectionism, Mina happened to pick up a Hobonichi Techo at LOFT, and it changed their life.

gSince discovering the Hobonichi Techo, Ifve stopped being so excessively obsessed with trying to be perfect.h

Theyfve made it their life motto to accept their imperfections, to allow them the freedom to be more creative.


ªMinafs harmonious collages, which look like pages from a magazine, are absolutely charming.

Nicole, an influencer, shared a surprising idea.

They actually cut an A5 Hobonichi Graph Notebook in half vertically to use it as the same size as a Weeks!



Voices of gWow!h erupted from all corners of the room. The process of pursuing a format that is easy for you to use in your own way—that process feels a lot like life itself, doesn't it?

Next up was Gracie, who shared that gthe Hobonichi Techo taught me the importance of being myself.h



After a period where Gracie couldn't move as they wished due to illness, they spoke about how their techo helped them through those difficult times.
gThe Hobonichi Techo is truly special to me. It doesnft judge. It doesnft blame. It lets me feel that eif I couldnft do it today, thatfs okay.fh
Gracie mentioned that this is a feeling theyfve never experienced with any other planner.
gI know itfs just a planner. But for me, it was the first thing in my life that pushed me forward and told me itfs okay to just be who I am.h
Now, Gracie fills their techo with everything they love—favorite pop stars, their physical condition, and daily events—and enjoys every day to the fullest.



The other presenters also gave wonderful presentations.


ªAimée has been using only the Weeks for ten years.


ªFiona draws one picture in their techo every day. They couldnft draw as well as they wanted at first, but after eight years of steady effort, they now create beautiful artwork.

During the Q&A section, the questions went beyond just sizes and usage. One interesting question popped up:




gHave you ever written so much that the book wouldnft close?h
gYes. I cut mine into four books.h
That one line sent a wave of laughter through the room.

On the topic of stickers, one participant shared a memorable thought:
gIf you leave them tucked away in a drawer, you wonft use them. And if you donft use them, good things wonft happen.h
Pasting them, failing, and having them stick out past the pages. Even those gimperfecth parts become daily memories.

As someone who keeps a collage journal myself(), I felt a renewed sense of affection for my own Hobonichi Techo.

The second half of the event was a time for free interaction.



Everywhere I looked, I saw people opening their techos and naturally continuing the conversations they had heard earlier.

ªA commemorative photo of all the participants' Hobonichi Techos lined up together. Everyone looked like a proud parent watching over their children.

Finally, we took our customary group photo!


ªThe participants from the 1st session.


ªThe participants from the 2nd session.

Everyonefs radiant smiles are truly wonderful.
I felt that the theme shared throughout the day wasnft about the gcorrect way to use a techo,h but something more essential: ghow each person engages with life.h

Books cut because they got too thick, pages covered in tape, months where nothing was written. All of it seemed like a mirror reflecting each personfs life itself. And through other peoplefs techos, we were able to pause and reflect on our own lives. I am so happy that such an interactive exchange was born.

A heartfelt thank you to everyone who participated, and to Hamed and Rousol of The Journal Shop!

We look forward to meeting you again in another town someday.



œBonus

Ifm actually terrible at speaking in front of large crowds. So, on the morning of the Meeting Caravan, I walked through Kensington Gardens near my hotel, practicing my speech over and over again.

ªThe park was nearly empty in the early morning, allowing me to stay focused in the clear, cold air under the winter sky.

Thanks to that effort, I managed to finish my speech in the actual event, and looking back now, I feel a huge sense of relief.

This was our first time attempting the gPresenter Sessionh format. The people who volunteered to present must have felt a lot of anxiety before it started. Even so, as an organizer, Ifm so grateful they found the courage to raise their hands to participate as an organizer.

To everyone who served as a presenter, thank you so much!

Book tabs that make choosing colors fun

Hello! Ifm Higashi from the Techo team. When I heard the phrase gObsessed with this Stationery,h the first thing that came to mind was the: coco fusen Mini



coco fusen is a series of film-based sticky tabs that come pre-set in a small case. The back of the case is made of a material that can be peeled off and reattached, so you can stick it right onto the cover of your book.


Each tab is 6mm x 24mm. This size feels just right.

By doing this, you don't have to go hunting for your tabs. You can place a marker the very moment you feel like it.

I bought one just to try it out, and then I wanted another. Then I thought, gOh, maybe this color would be good, too?h Before I knew it, I had collected this many!



If I look back and ask myself why I ended up buying so many in the first place, I realize it all started with this book.



The more I read, the more fascinating it became. I got so caught up in it that I started frantically sticking on whatever tabs I happened to have in the room. This was the result. At the time, I didn't think much of it and just left them there.

However, every time I went back to re-read it, something didn't quite sit right. gThe solemn, pensive mood of the content and the brightness of these colors don't really match, do they?h gAnd wait, are these tabs actually too big for a paperback?h



gIn that case,h I thought, gIfll just find tabs that actually suit the cover!h Thatfs how I arrived at the gcoco fusen Mini.h Whites, grays, beiges, yellows, and greens. There are lots of nuanced colors that feel a little different from the tabs Ifve used before, which makes it exciting.



Lately, Ifve found that even the time I spend deciding which color to use before I start reading is a total joy!



My favorite way to use them is to try and match the color of the tab to the color of the book cover as closely as possible. When everything clicks perfectly into place, I feel a surge of happiness that I canft really put into words—something like, gWow... the book, the tabs... theyfre so good!h



For example, here is how the yellow looks. There are actually quite a lot of books that use yellow on the cover, so itfs a color I use often.



The purples and blues are also crisp and beautiful.



Browns and beiges look great, too. They blend in naturally with gShinshoh (non-fiction paperbacks), which often have simple covers. But the ones Ifm most obsessed with have to be the whites and grays.



As for the white, itfs so subtle you canft even see it. But thatfs exactly what makes it so good. Also, there are surprisingly few white sticky tabs in this size, so I was incredibly happy when I finally found them.



Just look at this quiet, understated presence. Ifll be using these as my reading companions for a long time to come! The six varieties Ifve introduced are Margaret, Stone, Sherbet, Colorful, Moonlight, and Cool Gray. Even the names are lovely, aren't they?

While the shapes and sizes are slightly different, the Hobonichi Store also carries a selection of coco fusen, so please take a look if youfre interested coco fusen Color coco fusen Clip (Pastel Pink)

Thatfs all for my Techo News article. Please look forward to the future updates!

My techofs sticking buddies

Hello, Ifm Ogawa from the sales team! I stick a lot of ephemera in my techo, so egluef is an essential part of my techo time. Today, Ifd like to introduce two types of glue that have been my trusty companion items in my 2026 techo.



¡The Square GLOO Stick

The unique feature of the Kokuyo Glue Stick GLOO is that the stick itself is square.



Thanks to this shape, even when Ifm pasting receipts into my techo, the four corners donft flap or lift—I can apply glue perfectly right to the very edge.

gIf the things youfre pasting are square, shouldn't the glue be square too so itfs easier to use?!h

When you hear the reasoning, it makes perfect sense and seems obvious. But if youfre stuck on the assumption that a glue stick must be a cylinder, I donft think itfs something youfd easily arrive at. I was actually quite moved when I first discovered this product! Ifve been buying a new one every time I run out.

¡Roller Tape GLOO


When decorating my techo or notebook, I used to struggle when trying to arrange ephemera in a freeform layout. The impression totally changes depending on the slight angles, yet once you stick something down, you canft easily peel them off. Getting it right on the first try is surprisingly difficult. Since this tape glue is repositionable, the best part is being able to adjust the placement later. I can refine the position after seeing the result, gradually getting closer to my ideal layout.

And another irresistible point is that the tip rotates and transforms!



Pop the head upc


Transformation complete!

The click-click-click... snap! sound when switching the shape really lifts my mood, I canft get enough of that mechanical feel.

There are many more photos on the Hobonichi Online Store page, so please take a look if youfre interested. GLOO Roller Tape Adhesive - Size S (Please note that this item is currently out of stock, but a restock is planned. We will provide updates on the product page as soon as details are finalized.)

Thank you for reading today. The gObsessed with this Stationeryh posts will continue. Look forward to the next one!
