Japanese FabricKoyaguchi Pile Fabric - HanajutanA6 Size (fits Planner and Original)

Many regions in Japan have their own unique fabrics, with characteristics based on the area’s climate and culture. This cover is made with one of these special textiles.



This textured cotton-flax fabric is covered in images of green plants that seem to grow right off the cover. The woven fabric, Koyaguchi Pile, is made at the foot of Mt. Koya in Wakayama Prefecture and has a soft texture that feels heavenly to the touch.

The cute depictions of flowers and leaves are actually the result of decades of work from a local business that designs patterns for pile fabrics. Their hard work creating a classic pattern with a natural look allowed this textile to turn out as well as it did.



Many people may associate the term pile with fabric used in towels. But the pile featured in this cover’s textile is not made of loops you’d find in a towel. This highly unique woven pile is made by layering two pieces of fabric together, weaving threads between them both, and cutting the threads in a way that makes the threads stand up off the surface of the fabric.



Koyaguchi Pile is made entirely in a factory near the Kinokawa River, with everything from the weaving, dyeing, and final touches completed in-house by skilled artisans. The result is a cover that combines a cute look with high quality.

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 there may be slight differences.

Pattern alignment varies by cover

The exact alignment of the pattern across the cover varies by design, so your product will appear slightly differently than the product page example.

Threads are napped and uneven

Threads may contain uneven thickness or naps (knots and lumps in the material).

Pen holders are rigid at first

The pen holders are rigid at first, making it difficult to insert pens. You can speed up the breaking-in process by rolling the pen holders in your hand.

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.

Avoid using with Cover on Cover

This cover uses thicker materials than usual, so it may not fit. Forcing it into a Cover on Cover may damage the products.

Color may vary slightly based on viewing screen

The color of the product may be slightly different in actuality than compared to how it appeared on a computer or smartphone screen.

Interior of cover may be loose

The interior of the cover may not be perfectly taut due to limitations during the manufacturing process.
