Hobonichi Techo Bookbinding Kit(A6 Original size)
When you're finished using your techo at the end of the year, this kit can help you turn your Hobonichi Techo into a hardcover book with a cloth material of your choice.
These bookbinding kits are by popular bookmaking company Misuzudo. Kits contain an illustrated guide that makes it easy for any beginner to try out their very first bookbinding. The instructions included in the kit are in Japanese, but you can download an English translation of the PDF here.
There are 8 materials to choose from so you can further personalize your already-personal book while making it really pop on the bookshelf. It takes some time and effort to turn your techo into a hardcover book, but it's a lot of fun, and incredibly rewarding. We also recommend doing this activity with family and friends for a memorable evening together.
Sold separately from the book cover is the Bookmaking Tool Set, which includes everything you need to bind your book. You can find it for sale on this page.
Misuzudo has also taken the time to put together a video to illustrate the bookbinding process. The video is in Japanese, but can be a lot of help when viewed alongside the English instruction booklet.
