The Hobonichi Techo is one of Japan's best-selling planners. More than just an agenda, it is a blank canvas for documenting the small moments of everyday life. Use it as a diary, scrapbook, sketchbook, or simply a place to record your thoughts. It is made with Tomoe River paper, which is ultra thin and lightweight yet remarkably resistant to ink bleedthrough.
The Colors series for Weeks provides users with simple yet unique color schemes, with solid bookbinding and a cover fabric that’s pleasant to the touch.
This weekly edition is a compact book easy to carry around. The book is slim, making it easy to fit anywhere. The main design of the book consists of a weekly calendar on the left page and blank graph paper on the right page. Although slim at first glance, the book contains 240 pages in total. Each weekly spread also contains the characteristic Hobonichi quote in English on the bottom of the page.
Made in Japan
The Hobonichi Techo is much more than a planner: it's an internationally famous lifestyle icon. This cult planner features a minimal and functional design and is full of little details that make it absolutely unique, such as quotes and informational pages about Japanese history, annual events, and folk tales.
The Hobonichi Techo is made by Hobo Nikkan Itoi Shimbun (ほぼ日刊イトイ新聞), a website and lifestyle brand curated by Japanese copywriter Shigesato Itoi. Hobonichi comes from the word meaning “almost everyday” and techo meaning “planner.”
