Hobonichi Techo 2027 Japanese Cousin Book [A5 size/Daily/Jan start/Mon start]

The Hobonichi Techo Cousin is the A5, one-page-per-day edition. You can use it to write schedules, journal entries and notes; paste in tickets and photos; sketch; and much more. The ample space of the Cousin makes it especially easy to use for compiling all your work notes into one book, keeping a parenting diary, or creating a shared journal with someone. Many also use it as a desk techo — one they keep at home or at the office rather than carry around.

The page design is based on a 3.7 mm grid layout, refined through countless adjustments over the years. It makes writing schedules and prose neat and easy, and is just as handy whenever you want to sketch a diagram or drawing.

One of the most distinctive features of the Hobonichi Techo is the Daily Quotes. One carefully chosen quote from the Hobonichi website appears on each daily page, making the techo a pleasure to read through as well as write in.

You’ll also find vertical Weekly Pages that are unique to the Hobonichi Techo Cousin. Writing your plans along a vertical timeline makes it easy to manage your schedule on a week-by-week basis.

Thanks to the thread-stitched binding, the techo opens flat at 180 degrees and stays that way — no need to hold the pages down.

The pages are made of thin and light yet durable Tomoe River paper that holds ink well, providing a smooth writing experience.

The back of the techo contains bonus pages, including standard favourites such as Favorites, My 100 and Solar Terms, as well as new additions like Phrases to Break That Writer’s Block, Useful Sign Language Phrases to Know, and Hobonichi’s Neighborhood: Kanda/Jinbo-cho Map, among others.

The Hobonichi Techo is designed to be used with a cover. We offer a wide range of dedicated techo covers to choose from — explore the different colours, materials and designs to find your perfect match.
