2027 Hobonichi Techo English Weeks - Natal Design: Lucky Swallow
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.
This Weeks book features Natal Design's signature swallow motif dancing across the entire cover. A special texture is applied exclusively to the swallow motifs, allowing you to feel a unique tactile sensation when you run your fingertips over them. The spine is finished in a vivid turquoise, creating a striking accent against the black cover. The cover has been constructed as a light hardcover book with some give to it so it still bends.
