Hobonichi 2027 Accessories: Yumi Kitagishi – Ballpoint Pen (White Cat Bunny)

The Ballpoint Pen (White Cat Bunny) is the newest companion in the lineup of original Hobonichi ballpoint pens featuring the white cat, a beloved character created by Yumi Kitagishi, an illustrator who has also been making a name for herself as a picture book author in recent years.

This time the familiar white cat appears dressed in a bunny costume. Because the design is based on an original clay sculpture moulded by Kitagishi herself, the finished figure carries the unique softness and warm charm of a handcrafted item.

The pink and blue-green colour palette blends naturally with Kitagishi’s techo covers and Weeks designs. The body of the pen carries Yumi Kitagishi’s logo and signature, along with the word HOBONICHI.

Packed full of adorable charm, simply having this ballpoint pen sitting on your desk brings a gentle, cheerful warmth to the space.

Yumi Kitagishi is an illustrator who creates works with a rich sense of colour and the warmth of hand-drawing, giving people a picture book-like view of the world. Publications include The Black and White Cat Postman (published by Akane Shobo) and Almost Christmas (published by Hakusensha).
