Paired with a cover called Hana (Flower) inspired by Japanese calligrapher Yuichi Inoue, this Techo Original A6 is a compact English-language journal with one page per day—designed to capture everything from daily notes and reflections to sketches, lists, and passing thoughts. Hobonichi calls it a Life Book—a place for recording the moments, memories, and details that make up everyday life.
In a natural ecru color, the A6 cover has bright yellow butterfly-style pen loops to keep your writing utensil handy, while also securing the cover shut. The outer design is one of Yuichi Inoue's bold "single character" works—a hallmark of the abstracted calligraphy style he helped pioneer in the mid 20th century. When open, the cover's interior reveals another pop of yellow, accented with two light purple bookmark strands and ample pockets for keeping stickers, clippings, and other bits of daily ephemera.
For 2026, Hobonichi Techo Covers will only be available in the United States when purchased with a Techo Book. New covers will not be sold separately.
