Hobonichi Techo 2027 HON - JPN Edition - A6 - Hiroko Kubota: String Telephone Until the Moon is Full

The Hobonichi HON “Hiroko Kubota: String Telephone Until the Moon Is Full” features original artwork by illustrator Hiroko Kubota, depicting a quiet evening meadow where a cat and wolf share a conversation across a tin-can telephone.

On the cover, a cat listens with its eyes closed as a wolf speaks from the other end of the string. A mouse rides a unicycle back and forth along the line between them, while a Ferris wheel turns in the distance and a white crescent moon hangs in the sunset sky. The year 2027 and HON logo are finished with matte silver foil, adding a subtle shimmer against the wide gradient of the sky.

The A6-size HON features a one-page-per-day layout, providing space for writing, planning, journaling, sketches, and notes throughout the year. The thin and durable Tomoe River paper offers a smooth writing experience while holding ink well, and the 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 useful bonus pages. The Japanese edition features My 100, Favorites, Solar Terms, Phrases to Break That Writer’s Block, Useful Sign Language Phrases to Know, and the Hobonichi’s Neighborhood: Kanda/Jinbo-cho Map.

With its peaceful evening scene and gentle story of communication, this HON offers a special place to record the thoughtful moments, conversations, and memories that fill your year.
