    Fugeiten Project x Hirosaki Kogin InstituteTomarazu No Hanako Kakomi (Snow White)A6 Size (fits Hobonichi Planner and Hobonichi Techo Original)

    Fugeiten Project members Yoko Tsukamatsu and Ricca Fukuda have teamed up to reinvent traditional Kogin embroidery into modern textiles. Kogin embroidery originated in the Tsugaru region of Aomori Prefecture back in the Edo Period. Today, the embroiderers at the Hirosaki Kogin Research Institute have painstakingly crafted each individual techo cover. Each pattern, or modoko, has a special meaning. Tomarazu refers to the pace in which embroiderers never know exactly where they're going to stop on a piece. The charms at the end of the linen bookmarks are modoko-inspired diamond shapes. This cover promises a dynamic experience of feeling the varied touch of the linen and cotton.

      Please Read Before You Buy

      In order to provide you with the most satisfaction for your product, we've compiled a list of warnings, potential issues, and tips to keep in mind for this particular product. Please be sure to read this information carefully before placing your order.

      All covers are hand-made and may contain slight variances

      Each and every cover is individually sewn by a factory worker hand-operating a sewing machine. Best efforts are made to ensure consistent sizes and specifications, but as these products are hand-made, covers are not made as exact copies.

      No outer pocket

      This cover does not contain an outer pocket.

      Sharp objects may unravel threads

      Embroidery threads protrude from the material, so please be careful not to catch sharp items such as a pen tip under them as they may unravel.

      Sashiko pattern may vary by cover

      Sashiko is a pattern created by weaving together horizontal and vertical lines. However, threads are not all the exact same thickness, so there may be variances or slight spotting in the pattern.

      Sliding no-slip pens into the pen holder

      Pens with rubber, non-slip grips may be difficult to slide into the pen holder.

      Maximum pen width of 13.5mm for pen holder

      The pen holder is designed to perfectly fit the 12.2mm (0.48") diameter Jetstream pen offered as a free bonus gift with select Japanese-version Hobonichi Web Shop products. Pens with certain shapes and materials may be difficult to pull through the holder. The holder can fit pens up to 13.5mm (0.53") in diameter.
