$99.00
DESCRIPTION

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 April Start 2026, the A6 Cover will not be sold separately. It will be bundled with the 2026 Hobonichi Techo Original Book Japanese A6 April Start: Monday Start

The ball-button closure, triangular flap and the use of two different types of textures in the fabric make for three unique key features of this cover. Made with the wish for you to enjoy the time you spend reflecting on yourself—almost as if you were writing a letter. Even the time you spend wrapping and unwrapping the string around the cover is meant to be a time to cherish. This tri-fold cover stays shut with a button and has an interior pen hook to store a pen by its clip.
