One Page Per Day

In order to allow maximum creative versatility, every day is given an entire page with only graph lines. You can map out your schedule for the day or scribble random thoughts or ideas. But the planner is for more than just writing or sketching. Users paste tickets, magazine clips, photos, and other items of interest as they use the planner in their own unique way.

The Hobonichi Techo Weeks is another option alongside the daily planners. This weekly planner offers a full week laid out on the left page, and blank, fully-customizable graph paper on the right for jotting ideas, meeting notes, expanding the rows from the left and more.

Lay-Flat Binding

First-time users have been surprised at how the planner opens and lays flat. A novel, for example, doesn’t need to open a full 180 degrees, but to someone who carries their Hobonichi Techo everywhere and pulls it out to jot something off the top of their head, it's very important for the book to open and lay flat without being held down.

A Book for Reading

From the heartfelt to the humorous, each page includes a quote from the techo's parent site, Hobo Nikkan Itoi Shimbun. The English version includes one quote per two-page spread, and the Weeks includes a quote per each one-week spread.

Choose Your Favorite Cover

The Hobonichi Techo experience includes selecting a cover. The cover does more than protect your book from daily wear and tear. Its many pockets, and the pen holder that holds the cover shut, make the cover a resourceful and fun tool to make life more convenient. One excitement for users is choosing their favorite cover from the extensive lineup every year.
