Hobonichi Techo 2027 Japanese Original Book [A6 size/Daily/Jan start/Mon start]

The Hobonichi Techo Original is a one-page-per-day techo in A6 size (the same size as a paperback book). It’s the standard format of the Hobonichi Techo, now in its 26th year since the 2002 edition. The daily pages give you plenty of space to write schedules, journal entries and notes; paste in tickets and photos; sketch; and much more.

The page design is based on a 3.7 mm grid layout, refined through countless adjustments over the years. It makes writing schedules and prose neat and easy, and is just as handy whenever you want to sketch a diagram or drawing.

One of the most distinctive features of the Hobonichi Techo is the Daily Quotes. One carefully chosen quote from the Hobonichi website appears on each daily page, making the techo a pleasure to read through as well as write in.

This is the Monday-start edition, with the text printed on the cover in grey.

Thanks to the thread-stitched binding, the techo opens flat at 180 degrees and stays that way — no need to hold the pages down.

The pages are made of thin and light yet durable Tomoe River paper that holds ink well, providing a smooth writing experience.

The back of the techo contains bonus pages, including standard favourites such as Favorites, My 100 and Solar Terms, as well as new additions like Phrases to Break That Writer’s Block, Useful Sign Language Phrases to Know, and Hobonichi’s Neighborhood: Kanda/Jinbo-cho Map, among others.

The Hobonichi Techo is designed to be used with a cover. We offer a wide range of dedicated techo covers to choose from — explore the different colours, materials and designs to find your perfect match.
