This Hobonichi Techo HON features a gentle, story-like illustration by artist Hiroko Kubota. Titled “Waiting on the Chord,” the cover depicts a piano with a small cat sitting quietly on top, as if pausing before the music begins. Kubota’s timeless artwork captures a sense of calm and wonders that invites the imagination and brings a soothing presence to each day.
The Hobonichi Techo HON combines beauty and function with its integrated hardcover design, offering the feel of a cherished book you’ll love carrying all year. Inside, you’ll find the same contents as the Hobonichi Techo Original - 1 page per day, Tomoe River paper for a smooth writing experience, and 180-degree lay-flat binding for effortless journaling. Available in A5 size, it’s perfect for anyone who enjoys thoughtful writing and everyday reflection.
