As an official UK Hobonichi stockist we are delighted to be able to offer the 2025 Hobonichi collection.

The Hobonichi Techo HON with a book-like design is a compact, page-per-day type techo with a hardcover design already attached to the book. The format and contents are the same as the Original and Cousin.

The Paper Series uses unique paper by specialized paper trading company Takeo.
This book may seem like an ordinary black techo, but when you look closely, you will find the entire surface covered with a plaid pattern. The book is made of Takeo’s “Gingham GA,” a paper embossed with plaids reminiscent of gingham. You can see the gingham pattern from different angles of light. Although it’s embossed, it feels smooth to the touch.

Please note that the cover of this HON book is thinner and softer than the other HON books since it is made by cutting off the sides of the cover instead of wrapping the cover material around the cardboard. It does not have a bookmark.

The iconic Hobonichi Techo is frequently listed as one of the best planners available. Every detail has been carefully considered to make this diary a joy to use. It features a day-per-page, weekly and monthly diaries, lays completely flat, and uses the wonderful new Tomoe River S paper which is thin, smooth and handles ink beautifully.

As a special exclusive only for the HON, this techo comes with a pencil board. The board is A5 size and clear, with 5mm grid lines printed across it. There are measurements printed along one side in 1mm increments, which allow for use as a ruler. It also has a pen holder attached to it where users can store pens by their clips.

Renowned for its exquisite Japanese craftsmanship, this planner is designed to be more than just a diary—it's a daily companion that encourages mindful planning and journaling.

• Comprehensive Layout: a versatile format that includes yearly, monthly, and weekly views, along with ample daily pages, making it perfect for both detailed planning and reflective journaling.
• High-Quality Tomoe River Paper: Experience the pleasure of writing on ultra-thin yet durable paper, designed to minimise bleed-through while maximising writing comfort. Ideal for fountain pens and other fine writing instruments.
• English-Language Edition: Tailored for English-speaking users, this edition retains the charm of the original Japanese version with all the functionality you need to organise your life effectively.
