Hobonichi Techo Cover / A6 / Arts&Science: Wax Coating Kip Leather

Hobonichi Techo Cover / A6 / Arts&Science: Wax Coating Kip — part of the Hobonichi Techo 2027 collection.

A leather cover crafted from a deep, dark brown wax-coated kip leather. Its charm lies in the unique shading and luster created by blending wax and dye. With continued use, the shine settles, developing a texture that fits comfortably in your hands. A simple design that secures by tucking in the belt, without the use of metal hardware. This cover is created alongside Arts&Science, a shop and brand by Sonya Park.

• Fits the Hobonichi Techo Original (A6 size, 3.9" x 5.9")
• Sold as cover only — the paper refill (Original Book) is sold separately
• Material Exterior: Cow leather
  Interior: Cow leather

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.
