Hobonichi Techo - Moomin: Hobonichi Graph Notebook (A5) - Moomin
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 graph-paper notebook is made with Tomoe River paper, opens completely flat, and the printing comes in four different colors across the book. The cover features an illustration of Moominpappa and Moomintroll. The artwork is from the novel "Moominsummer Madness". The matte gray cover material and the striking red spine tape create a color scheme that highlights the charm of the characters while still offering a refined, sophisticated look.
