Hobonichi Lined Notebook / A5 Size

Hobonichi Lined Notebook (A5 Size) — part of the Hobonichi Techo 2027 collection.

This A5 size notebook has thin and sturdy Tomoe River paper and opens flat. This notebook uses an innovative ruled line design developed based on design psychology, with a focus on reducing eye strain. With a thickness of 10 mm and 288 pages, you can write as much as you like in a single notebook. It’s the same size as the Hobonichi Techo, so you can use it with a techo cover as well.

About Hobonichi Techo

Hobonichi Techo was created in 2002 by Shigesato Itoi — the influential Japanese copywriter, creative director, and writer of the Nintendo/EarthBound “Mother” game series — as an extension of his long-running web magazine Hobo Nikkan Itoi Shinbun (“Almost Daily Itoi News”), which has published online since 1998. It is produced in Japan by Hobonichi Co., Ltd.

The planner is built around ultra-thin, famously smooth Tomoe River paper, prized by fountain pen users worldwide for its ink-friendliness and near-zero bleed-through. Each year Hobonichi releases a new lineup of cover designs and collaborations with Japanese and international artists, designers, and brands — a roster that has grown into one of the most anticipated and collected release calendars in stationery. Designs regularly sell out within days of launch.
