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

      Select shop Arts&Science owner Sonya Park directed the creation of this English-language Hobonichi Techo book, which has been refined and simplified to make it easy to use in all countries and languages. It still contains all the beloved features of the Original Japanese edition, such as the compact A6 size, one page devoted to each day, daily quotes, lay-flat binding, and more.



      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 historical Japanese household items, an ancient system called the Earthly Branches, and an introduction to traditional sweets from around the world.



      The book has a chic, black textured cover subtly engraved with the Japanese characters for “techo” alongside the Arts&Science logo.

      The book is also engraved with the year 2019 on the book spine.

      When you purchase the Planner in the Hobonichi Techo Official Store, the book comes with two free 2019 Hobonichi Store Exclusives: Not-Scary Bear Paperweight and a special Hobonichi Techo 2019 edition 3-Color Jetstream white ballpoint pen.

      Although the book looks handsome on its own, you can pair the book with a cover of your choice from our large selection of convenient A6 size Hobonichi Techo covers.

      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.
