This Hobonichi Techo HON is made with a beautiful printed textile from the beloved British fabric brand Liberty Fabrics. New for 2026 is a small floral pattern reminiscent of the pastoral illustrations by picture book author Kate Greenaway. Pink and light blue anemones flutter gently, while small buds and leaves create a rich design that evokes a meadow swaying in the breeze. 

The year 2026 and the Hobonichi logo are stamped with gold foil. The hardcover book has some give to it so it still bends, and comes with a pencil board.

The Hobonichi Techo HON has a hardcover design already attached to the book. It’s designed to make you feel like you’re carrying around a favorite book, which you can pull out at any time to make notes no matter where you are. The book has A6 size pages and features a page per day, so the contents are the same as the Hobonichi Techo Original.

The HON has two attached bookmarks — one navy and one beige — so you can mark your place in frequently used pages.

The book spine is foil-pressed in silver with the year 2025 and the HON logo for easy reference when placed in your bookshelf alongside other books.

The bookbinding on the HON has thread-stitch binding similar to the Hobonichi Techo Original, so it opens 180 degrees onto the table. 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.
