Hello! This is Annen from the Techo Team.
Writing this Techo NEWS has me really excited.

Here are the three Hobonichi Techo 2025 planners I chose:



1) For Work
・Cover: Arts&Science: Baby Buffalo
・Planner Book: Planner

2) For Personal Use
・Weeks: Naoki Ishikawa: Denali in the Midnight Sun #1

3) For My Diary
・Cover: Hollywood Ranch Market: Indigo Jeans Pocket
・Planner Book: Large Hobonichi 5-Year Techo


For my 2025 planners, rather than just picking what felt like “me,” I chose ones that reflect who I want to become.

1) For Work


For my work planner, I chose an Arts&Science cover with the Planner inside.

It’s definitely a luxury item for me,
but wow, it’s so cool!!!
(A little reward for working hard this past year.)

The words of from a past
LIVE stream have been on my mind:
“If the price is your reason for buying, don’t.
But if the price is your only reason for not buying, go for it.”
That really gave me a push to get this one.

Owning something nice makes me feel more put together,
like I stand a little taller and feel more confident.

I also love that this red leather gets shinier over time, which was one of the reasons I chose it. I'm excited to see how it ages.
▼The inside and outside use different leather colors, which is a nice touch.


▼The tab has a hidden magnet, so it snaps shut nicely


I tend to stick all sorts of things into my work planner,
so it always ends up stuffed.
Will I manage to keep it sleek and smart in 2025?

▼My 2024 work planner got so thick, it can stand on its own!
(But I actually love how full and round it looks.)

2) For Personal Use


This is my “Input Techo,”
where I jot down movies, books, and exhibitions I’ve experienced.
2025 will be my fifth one!

I debated a lot between this and
Bow & Tie: Sushi,
but in the end, I chose Naoki Ishikawa’s design.

That glossy cover with a bold mountain shot was love at first sight.
▼Just looking at it gives me a refreshing feeling.

One of the first things I wrote in it was about visiting a Naoki Ishikawa exhibition.

3) For My Diary


My first 5-Year Techo is finally coming to an end,
so it’s time for a new one.
I love how much space it has for writing,
so I’m sticking with the “Large Hobonichi 5-Year Techo.”

Since I like to keep my 5-Year Techo standing on my desk,
a cover is a must.
(The soft cover bends easily if left uncovered…)


I picked the HOLLYWOOD RANCH MARKET cover for its useful pockets.
▼Perfect for keeping my favorite stickers handy.


My first 5-Year Techo grew into something so thick and full over the years.
▼So many memories in here. Thank you for everything!


▼For Christmas lately, I’ve been alternating between KFC and Mos Burger’s chicken.
I haven’t written it down yet, but that year was a Mos Chicken year.


〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜

As for my must-have writing boards,
I chose Paddington
and Pencil Board: Ice Gray×Yellow.


I’m still deciding which stationery to use with them, so I’ll take my time figuring it out.
▼Some of the contenders.


Stay tuned for the next update!
