The Techo Original A6 book is the daily planner Hobonichi calls its Life Book—a place to organize your schedule and capture the everyday moments that make up your life. The theme of the 2026 Techo is "You Love You?"—an invitation to slow down, reflect, and record what matters most.
This A6-size, English-edition planner features a page-per-day format and is designed for use with a Techo A6 Cover or compatible A6 covers from other makers. Hobonichi’s thoughtful design, refined through years of customer feedback, shines in every detail—from the width of the 3.7mm grid lines to the rounded page corners. The thread-stitched binding with flexible reinforcement allows the book to lay flat, ensuring durability and ease of use.
Inside, each day’s page includes time-of-day segments on the left, check boxes for to-dos or habit tracking, Hobonichi’s signature quotes at the bottom, and color-coded pages for each month. Monthly calendars precede the daily sections for easy planning. This is an English-language, January-start, Monday-start planner.
One of the standout features of the Techo Original is its use of Tomoe River paper—thin yet strong, it allows the planner to hold many pages without bulk. It works beautifully with all kinds of pens, including fountain pens, though some inks may need a few moments to dry.
Pair your Hobonichi Techo A6 Original with a cover and accessories to create a planner that’s uniquely yours—a trusted companion for a year’s worth of plans, reflections, and memories.
