Hobonichi Techo 2027 HON - A5 - Hiroko Kubota: String Telephone Until the Moon is Full

The Hobonichi HON “Hiroko Kubota: String Telephone” features original exclusive artwork by illustrator Hiroko Kubota, depicting a peaceful meadow at sunset. A cat and wolf chat through a string telephone while a mouse rides a unicycle along the line between them. In the distance, a Ferris wheel turns beneath a crescent moon, capturing a quiet moment of connection and the gentle passage of time. The year 2027 and HON logo are finished in matte silver foil, adding a subtle accent to the open sky.

The cover has a light, canvas-like texture and is constructed as a light hardcover with some give, making it comfortable to hold and use. As a hardcover techo with an integrated cover, the HON combines the familiar Hobonichi Techo layout with a clean, book-like design.

The A5-size HON contains the same layout as the Hobonichi Techo Cousin, including one-page-per-day spreads and vertical weekly pages for planning your week across a two-page spread. The 3.7 mm grid provides a structured space for writing, scheduling, journaling, sketches, and notes, while the thin and durable Tomoe River paper offers a smooth writing experience. Thread-stitched binding allows the book to open completely flat at 180 degrees and stay open while you write.

The back of the book includes a variety of bonus pages. The English edition features favorites such as My 100, Favorites, and the 365 Days Check-Off Sheet, along with Phrases to Break That Writer’s Block, Hard-to-Translate Japanese Words, and the Hobonichi’s Neighborhood: Kanda/Jinbo-cho Map. The Japanese edition includes My 100, Favorites, Solar Terms, Phrases to Break That Writer’s Block, Useful Sign Language Phrases to Know, and other reference pages.
