Hobonichi Techo Cousin A5 2026 - Japanese, April Start, Monday Start
The Techo Cousin A5 book is a daily planner that Hobonichi calls a Life Book—a place to organize your schedule and capture the everyday moments that make up your life. Hobonichi invites you to slow down, reflect, and record what matters most.
This A5-size, Japanese-edition planner features a page-per-day format, designed for use with a Techo A5 Cover or compatible A5 covers from other makers. This planner starts in April and goes through March, coinciding with the start of the Japanese fiscal year and school terms.
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 Japanese quotes at the bottom, and color-coded pages for each month. Monthly calendars precede the daily sections for easy planning.
One of the standout features of the Techo Cousin 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 A5 Cousin 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.
