Hobonichi Techo 2027 English Cousin Book - A5

The English edition of the Hobonichi Techo Cousin is a spacious A5 one-page-per-day planner designed to give you plenty of room for schedules, journaling, notes, sketches, photos, and everyday memories. This full-year edition begins January 1, 2027, with Monday-start calendars, making it an excellent choice for keeping your plans and records all in one place.

Each daily page features a refined 3.7 mm grid that makes it easy to write neatly, organize schedules, draw diagrams, or add illustrations. The Cousin also includes vertical weekly pages with timelines for planning your week at a glance. Each month is printed in a different color, and every two-page daily spread includes an English Daily Quote selected from content on the Hobonichi website, giving you something interesting to read as you plan and reflect.

Made with thin, lightweight, and durable Tomoe River paper, the pages provide a smooth writing experience while keeping the book relatively slim for its generous amount of content. The thread-stitched binding allows the book to open completely flat at 180 degrees, making it comfortable to use at your desk without needing to hold the pages down.

The Cousin is especially well suited as a desk planner for work notes, journaling, parenting records, creative projects, or shared memories. The back of the book includes a variety of bonus pages, including Favorites, My 100, a 365 Days Check-Off Sheet, Phrases to Break That Writer’s Block, Hard-to-Translate Japanese Words, and a map of Kanda and Jinbo-cho, along with additional reference and planning pages.

The 2027 Cousin includes yearly calendars covering 2026–2028, a yearly index for January through December 2027, and monthly calendars spanning December 2026 through March 2028. Daily pages run from January 1 through December 31, 2027, alongside vertical weekly pages from December 28, 2026 through January 2, 2028 and six memo pages for additional notes. With plenty of space and thoughtfully designed pages throughout, the Cousin gives you room to plan, record, create, and make the book uniquely yours.

The Hobonichi Techo is designed to be used with a cover, which is sold separately.

Please note that Tomoe River paper is highly ink-friendly but, depending on the pen, ink, amount used, and environmental conditions, some inks may take longer to dry or show through the page. Testing your pens beforehand or using a pencil board or blotting paper is recommended.
