Hello! This is Asako.

Today, I’d like to introduce a few cases that are quietly tucked away in the lineup of Hobonichi Techo stationery.



From left to right:

- Hobonichi Photo Album
- Hobonichi Card Album
- Hobonichi Safety Case

Each one is just what the name suggests: an album for photos, a folder for organizing cards, and a case that keeps your things safely stored. (Okay, the "Safety Case" is a little vague ー it's made to fit things like medical documents or passports.)

Personally, I think they’re just the right size to use as a slim little case to carry around with your techo.

They’re all a bit smaller than the Original (A6) size, so they fit perfectly tucked inside the Hobonichi Techo Original.


If your cover has a pocket on the back, the case slides in nice and snug.


You can also keep it in the inside pocket of the cover. Just a heads-up: the Safety Case might feel a little tight depending on what you put in it.

Here’s what it looks like next to the Weeks. The case is just a little wider.



I tried putting different things in each one, so feel free to take a look and see what might work for you.

Photo Album

This album has 10 pockets that fit standard L-size photos.



Round stickers I got from a 100-yen shop fit perfectly inside. It’s super satisfying.



On the right side are Hobonichi “Add-on Pocket” card-size and ticket-size sheets. These come in handy when you want to stick shop cards into your techo but can’t decide because the back side is cute too.



It’s also a great place to keep packaging cutouts and things you plan to paste into your techo later. Since it doesn’t have too many pockets, it keeps you from hoarding too much.

(I used to have a phase where I’d just toss receipts and packages I wanted to paste later onto the table... and before I knew it, I had a whole month’s worth piling up and felt overwhelmed. But if you decide, “I’ll keep everything in this album,” it feels easier to keep up with things.)

Card Album

The Card Album has 16 pockets, all sized for cards.



The “Hobonichi Double-Stick Tape” and “Hobonichi Stencils” fit just right.



You can also slip in a small notepad.



And it’s perfect for holding pre-cut washi tape like “KITTA”! If you have a big collection, it might be fun to use a case just for your “KITTA.”



Next up: stickers. I’ve got a few different kinds, so I’ll walk you through them from the left.

Top left, I stuck some stickers from snacks I had onto a backing sheet I cut myself. We often get tasty snacks at the office, and I like to paste the stickers into my techo at home ー but I needed a little spot to keep them in the meantime.

Backing paper is probably best for this, but I couldn’t find any at the 100-yen shop when I went. So I picked up some nail art paper palettes instead.

Bottom left are flake stickers. If you just toss them in, they fall out everywhere, so I put them in a card-size “Add-on Pocket.”

On the right, I added stickers that already came with small backing sheets. These kinds of stickers tend to fall to the bottom of bigger folders and are hard to reach, but this case keeps them easy to grab.



The printed photos are from the iNSPiC printer, which works with your phone. There’s a bit of room to spare, but it still makes for a fun way to save and look back at photos.

And on the right?clear stamps! One of our crew members had them stored in a different card case and I thought, “That’s perfect!” so I copied the idea. If you fill all the pockets, it’ll get thick, but it’s great for carrying around one or two favorites.

By the way, there’s a larger pocket (not card-sized) at both the front and back of the album.



You can of course use them for sticker sheets, like the ones I showed earlier.



Or, since the pocket is clear, you can put a photo inside and make it the cover. The one I used is my dog ー super cute.

Safety Case

Last up, the Safety Case. It’s perfect if you want to store items of different sizes all in one place.

There’s a pocket on the left side. It has an open flap at the top, so it holds things comfortably. It’s the only one of the three cases that fits a B7-size notebook.


That stick going in diagonally is something I use to carry around strips of washi tape.

In the center, there are four card pockets.

The Safety Case uses a thicker, sturdier vinyl material than the other two, so it works better with flatter items. (Just FYI, the template that fit in the Card Album didn’t fit in this case.)



There’s another big pocket on the right side. This one isn’t a flap style; the top and bottom are sealed. It’s great for storing stickers securely.

...

I ended up writing way more than I planned, but if you’ve made it all the way here, thank you so much!

Besides these cases, there are also pen cases you can attach to your techo with a band, document holders, pouches, and more.
There are so many great items for organizing your things, so I hope you’ll take a look at the site!
