2026 Hobonichi Techo Cousin Planner Book & Cover English A5 - mina perhonen: aalto
Hobonichi started as a lifestyle website “Hobo Nikkan Itoi Shinbun,” [Almost Daily Itoi Newspaper] in 1998 featuring “almost-daily” essays by founder and editor-in-chief, Shigesato Itoi, who is well known for other ventures including game design and songwriting. In 2001, the Hobonichi Techo [planner] was launched after positive response from readers when asked if they would purchase a techo by the brand if developed. Since then, the Hobonichi lineup has grown from 1 to 7 types, with some being available in Japanese, English, and Chinese, and has sold over 10 million copies over the world.
For 2026, the A5 Cover will not be sold separately. It will be bundled with the 2026 Hobonichi Techo A5 English Cousin Planner Book.
