Hobonichi 2027 Accessories: Collect & Collage – Pasting Notebook

“Collecting everyday memories and keeping them beautifully” is the theme behind the Collect & Collage stationery series, created to subtly showcase and casually preserve the paper keepsakes gathered from travels, outings, hobbies, gifts and the quiet moments of everyday life.

The Collect & Collage Pasting Notebook is a casual scrapbook that’s easy to use. Simply paste your paper keepsakes onto the blank space and add a few words on the graph paper to create a beautiful page layout.

The natural light-blue cover features matte silver foil-pressed accents. The interior pages use a cream base so that white paper items stand out when pasted in.

The vertical format combines blank and grid spaces in a way that naturally accommodates postcards, receipts, shop cards, small items like tickets, and tall narrow pieces like chopstick wrappers — whatever you paste in, a comfortable margin appears around it and everything settles into place. Even an A4 flyer folded into thirds fits without spilling over the edges. The thread-stitch binding opens flat at 180 degrees, so you can also use the pages as a two-page spread.

The blue grid sections at the top and bottom use the same 3.7 mm grid as the Hobonichi Techo Original and Cousin. They’re perfect for jotting down dates and headings, adding a short diary entry or memo, or pressing stamps.

Of course, you don’t have to limit yourself to pasting things in. Feel free to use it as a stamp album, a picture diary, or a free-form notebook. As you fill it up, it grows into a book where a single glance brings the memories of each moment rushing back.

The paper is firm, thick, and durable, so it resists warping and bumps after you’ve pasted things onto it, making it easy to attach all kinds of paper keepsakes. Its pleasant texture also pairs well with fountain pen ink, making it ideal for writing as well.

With 48 pages, it’s only 4 mm thick. Slim and easy to carry, it won’t become overly bulky even after you’ve filled it with paper keepsakes.

The endpaper at the front of the cover is made of a semi-transparent kraft paper reminiscent of glassine envelopes or wrapping paper. Try pasting a special piece of paper on the first page or pressing a commemorative stamp onto it, and enjoy the beautiful translucent effect.

You can also make the cover your own by decorating it with stickers or other personal touches.

The first release of the Collect & Collage series includes the Pasting Notebook, the Daily Memories – Rotating Stamp, Collage Stickers (Deco) and Collage Stickers (Pocket).

Enjoy using it with your Hobonichi Techo, or mix and match it freely with other Collect & Collage stationery to create your own favourite combination.
