2026 Hobonichi Techo HON A6 English Hardcover Planner Book - Hiroko Kubota: Waiting on the Chord
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.
A6 HON in English Features:
Printed with the artwork of Hiroko Kubota. The front cover depicts a cat sitting on the keyboard of a piano. There is a cat and a bird on the back too. In this quiet world, someday, you'll be able to hear the music when it reaches your ear...that’s the feeling this design evokes.
