Hobonichi 2026 A5 Cover on Cover – Yuri Sanae: Forest Lake

This is an illustrated version of the Cover on Cover, which you can put on top of your Hobonichi Techo cover to protect it from scuff marks and dirt. Using this in combination with a plain cover like the Colors will give it a fresh new look. (Not for use directly on the techo book)

Forest Lake is designed by graphic designer and illustrator Yuri Sanae. Inspired by the quiet time spent reflecting with the techo, she illustrated this lake, surrounded by countless flowers and plants in a flourishing forest.

On the lake, a swan is elegantly drifting along. Might the plants also be swaying in the wind? The leaves spread wide into every direction, beautifully coloring the lake. If you look closely, you will find that the flowers and plants come in various shapes. On what would be the back of the cover, a swan elegantly flaps its wings, while butterflies are discreetly hidden within the plants. This design allows for new happy discoveries throughout the year.

This illustration was printed using silk screening. In addition to the yellow, navy and purple accents, white and silver inks are used to add a refined atmosphere to the cute charm of the design.

In order to enjoy the illustration to the fullest, there is no slit for the exterior cover pocket on this item.

There are other pieces of stationery using Yuri Sanae’s illustrations, and we hope you can use these together.

The Cover on Cover has been specially measured for use on the A6 Original and A5 Cousin Colors and printed covers with butterfly stoppers. Other covers may not fit properly into the Cover on Cover.
