Select shop and brand Arts&Science owner Sonya Park directed the creation of this English-language Hobonichi Techo book, which has been refined and simplified to make it easy to use in all countries and languages. The refined layout, the color scheme of charcoal gray and red, and the bonus pages exclusive to the Planner are part of its charm.
The book has a matte cover subtly foil-pressed with the Japanese characters for “techo” alongside the Arts&Science key logo.
The book spine is foil-pressed in gold with the year 2026 and the “HOBO” logo for easy reference when placed in your bookshelf alongside other books.
The book has the same thread-stitch binding as a dictionary, allowing it to lay flat open for comfortable writing. It stays flat even if you don’t hold it down.
The book uses thin and light yet durable Tomoe River paper. It's characterized by its ability to hold ink well and provide a smooth writing experience.
Other than the daily pages with lots of space to write, the book contains several sections that are great for schedule management, such as a yearly calendar, monthly calendar, and yearly index page.
The bonus pages at the back of the book have been updated for the 2026 edition with pages such as Memories 2026, Mochi―Japan’s Favorite Sticky Treat, and Shinkansen―Travel Japan on the Bullet Train.
In anticipation of this book being used in various countries around the world, the calendars do not list holidays.
The Hobonichi Techo is used by pairing a techo book with a cover. Pick out a cover of your choice from our large selection of Hobonichi Techo covers, including those created in collaboration with Arts&Science.
