Hobonichi 2027 5-Year Techo A6 Cover: Moomin – Written Memories

The Moomin series was created in 1945 by Tove Jansson — Finland’s beloved author, painter and artist. Set in Moominvalley, the stories follow the gentle and curious Moomintroll; the dream-chasing and romantic Moominpappa; the warm-hearted and nurturing Moominmamma; the mischievous and strong-willed Little My; and the freedom-loving, solitary Snufkin — a cast of unique characters embarking on delightful adventures. This is a special cover for the Hobonichi 5-Year Techo featuring artwork from the beloved Moomin stories.

Written Memories is a leather cover designed to look like a book for writing your own personal story. Its calm and subdued tones make it a great option for adults too.

The cover illustration shows a scene from the novel Moominsummer Madness where Moominpappa earnestly rewrites the script for a play to be performed with his friends. Beneath the artwork, a Finnish phrase reads: “A tale of 5 years—a book like no other in the world.” The sturdy navy leather is stamped in an even darker shade of navy foil to preserve the refined, understated look.

The back features a diagram of the theatre, drawn by Emma the theatre mouse, also foil-stamped in dark navy.

The same Finnish phrase from the front is stamped on the spine, like the title of a book.

Inside the cover is a printed map of Fir Tree Bay. The right pocket is foil-stamped with a Finnish phrase meaning “happily ever after,” wishing you a wonderful five years of memories to record. A bright red bookmark contrasts beautifully with the elegant cover. There’s also a pen hook that holds a pen by its clip.

There are plenty of other Moomin items in the lineup, including stationery designed to match the cover.

Spend the next five years writing your story — together with this cover.

Tove Jansson (1914-2001) was a Finnish-Swedish writer and artist, who achieved worldwide fame as the creator of the stories about the Moomins, written and illustrated between 1945 and 1977. The Moomin family and their friends live an adventurous life in the idyllic and peaceful Moominvalley in harmony with nature. They are a family of white and roundish trolls with large snouts.

In order to allow customers the enjoyment of all-natural leather, the leather is processed in a way that retains its original feel. This may leave imperfections visible on the surface of the cover, such as wrinkles, scratches, stains or vein marks.

Depending on the conditions in which the cover is used, natural oils of the leather may emerge and appear as stains. We ask for your understanding for these naturally-occurring characteristics of genuine leather.
