The Hobonichi Techo is a Japanese daily planner, and it is sold as a plain book. The cover is the other half of it, and this is the top end of Hobonichi's cover range.
The book opens right out and its front and back boards slide into the pockets at either end. A6 takes the Original, the English Planner, the Avec half year books and the A6 Day-Free. A5 takes the Cousin, the Cousin Avec and the A5 Day-Free.
Why people love it• Pockets inside and out, from a card slot up to one that swallows a postcard• Somewhere for your pen: a loop at each side that a pen threads through to hold the whole thing shut, or a hook that grips a pen by its clip• Two ribbon bookmarks with a charm on the end, for the pages you keep going back to• Some of them zip right round, so the contents stay put in a bag• Nothing on it is dated, so next year's book goes into the same cover
This is the range made up in Hobonichi's heavier materials, leather and woven fabric among them.
