Hobonichi Techo Planner Book Steiff Edition (January Start)A6 Size / English / Monday-Start Week

      Hobonichi has teamed up with Steiff, the oldest plush toy maker in the world, to bring you this special collaboration edition of the Hobonichi Techo Planner. At a glance, this book may look the same as a traditional Hobonichi Techo Planner, but look closely and you’ll see the Arts&Science trademark key icon has been replaced with a Steiff bear.

      This unique book is foil-printed with a teddy bear on the front cover and the Steiff logo on the back cover. You’ll have a wonderful year ahead of you by spending it alongside the “forever friend” Steiff teddy bear, loved by many around the world. The contents inside this special edition Steiff Hobonichi Techo Planner are the same as the traditional Hobonichi Techo Planner.

      The Hobonichi Techo Planner is the English version of the Japanese Hobonichi Techo Original and was specially created in collaboration with Arts&Science owner Sonya Park. The book’s compact A6 size and page-per-day format provide a place to generously fill an entire year’s worth of spur-of-the-moment thoughts while still staying comfortably portable.
      From the heartfelt to the humorous, the Hobonichi Techo includes quotes specially chosen from its parent site, the Japanese web magazine Hobo Nikkan Itoi Shinbun. Each two page spread contains a single quote.



      The graph paper in the English version is slightly enlarged to 4 mm to allow users to write comfortably in any language. Timelines are simplified to a single 12 to denote noon so users can completely customize it to their own schedule (or ignore it completely), and each day is also labeled with the number of the consecutive week that year, from 1 to 52. Features such as a list of international holidays and international size charts cater to the worldwide community that comes together through this book. In addition, the 2019 edition includes informational pages in the back of the book about traditional Japanese household items, the Zodiac, and traditional sweets from around the world.



      The book spine is engraved with the year 2019.

      When you purchase the planner in the Hobonichi Techo Official Store, the book comes with two free Hobonichi Store exclusives: a “Not-Scary Bear Paperweight” and a Jetstream 3-color ballpoint pen. (The 2019 edition Hobonichi Techo pen has a white pen body.)

      The Hobonichi Techo book can be paired with our wide variety of cover designs, so take a look and pick out your favorite!

      Test fountain pens before regular use

      The Hobonichi Techo's Tomoe River paper is designed to prevent bleed-through, but some fountain pens and water-based ink pens are not compatible with this paper. When switching to a new pen, we recommend testing the pen somewhere in the book, such as the back memo pages, to see if the ink bleeds through or takes an especially long time to dry.
