Hello, this is Kawabata.

I want to introduce the "Tragen" planner cover. It has a simple and sleek look but features a trifold design with plenty of storage pockets. It’s perfect for those who want to carry stationery and cards along with their planner.

Until now, it was only available in black, but with the release of "Hobonichi Techo 2025 Spring," new colors ー Oakmoss and Red ー have arrived! More and more people in our office are using the new colors. I asked two of them, whose setups caught my attention, to share how they’re using their covers!

【Shirato’s Tragen Cover】
The first person is Shirato, who manages production for the planner team. What’s inside their Oakmoss Tragen cover...?



They carry a HON (A6), along with plenty of stationery and even a calculator! "The Tragen cover has pockets on the front, back, and inside, so as a stationery lover, I end up putting in a lot of things!"



Even when closed, the cover looks so neat. "I customized it with a Hobonichi monkey patch I got at the Hobonichi’s Joys of Life shopping event and a Sleepy Sheep keychain."



In the zippered front pocket, they keep pens, mini scissors, glue, a measuring tape ー and even a little 'snake' peeking out...! "This snake is actually a cord organizer for charger cables. The Tragen cover even fits bulkier items like this."





This cover has a magnetic closure. Taking advantage of that, Shirato keeps clips neatly stored inside the pocket. What a great idea!



"I was looking for a cover that fits the HON (A6), and the Tragen cover turned out to be perfect. In the card pockets on the left side, I store bandages, sticky notes, and cards."



In the easy-access back pocket, they keep frequently used items like a calculator, sticky notes, and a coaster.



【Ota’s Tragen Cover】
Next, I talked to Ota from the product team, who uses the other new color, Red! Ota mainly works on "weeksdays," a collection of various items created in collaboration with stylist Masako Ito and Hobonichi.





Ota has been with the company for 17 years. Though not part of the planner team, they’ve been using the Hobonichi Techo since 2003, before even joining the company. "I don’t really care about formats like the one-day-per-page or weekly left layouts ー I just pick the cover I like each year. This year, I instantly fell for the Paddington Weeks.

I never used a cover before and always carried my Weeks as is, but the Red Tragen released this spring was just too cute… So, I’m using a cover for the first time in a while. It goes perfectly with the Paddington cover!"



Ota likes to carry only the essentials. When I asked to see what’s inside, there were pens, sticky notes, business cards, message cards, and a "Hobonichi Template" featuring Coji-Coji (Loft exclusive). "I love how the Tragen cover lets me organize everything neatly while keeping it compact."



"I find the front pocket especially useful. Since it has a 'bottom,' pens and other items don’t fall to the back, making them easy to grab."



"Sometimes I even slip my phone into the back pocket. With this cover, I can carry my planner, stationery, business cards, and phone ? all my work essentials ー making it super convenient when I’m on the go. And this Red color ー just carrying it around lifts my mood, and I often get compliments on it, which makes me happy!"



Whether you like carrying lots of things with your planner or keeping it neatly organized, the Tragen cover is a great choice. Why not pair it with your favorite planner and give it a try?


The two of them just happened to be wearing outfits that matched their planner covers.
