Hobonichi Techo - Akiko Miyakoshi: Hobonichi Landscape Notebook (I Dream of a Journey)
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 is a B6-size, landscape-oriented grid notebook. It uses thin, durable Tomoe River paper with a 3.7-millimeter grid. The cover features a scene from Akiko Miyakoshi's picture book, "I Dream of a Journey." The text “Unforgettable Moments.” is stamped in aurora- colored foil on a smooth, soft matte cover. The back cover features a layout of the morning sunrise seen from above the clouds, an illustration used for the endpapers of the picture book.
