The Hobonichi Techo Avec is a two-volume version of the one-page-per-day Hobonichi Techo, designed to be lighter and easier to carry. The year is split into two books: January through June and July through December. The first volume has a lime yellow cover, and the second volume has an ice blue cover.

Because the year is divided into two volumes, each book is slim and light. This makes it easy to carry around, even when you’ve filled the pages with lots of clippings and mementos.

The Original Avec is the two-volume edition of the one-page-per-day A6-size techo. The page layout and specifications are essentially the same as the standard Original. (There are some differences in the calendar period covered and the number of bonus pages.) The daily pages give you plenty of space to write schedules, journal entries, and notes; paste in tickets and photos; sketch; and much more.

Just like all the other Hobonichi techos, they lay flat easily and the paper is a dream, by Tomoe River, known for the smoothness and ability to hold ink well.

The back of the techo contains bonus pages, including standard favorites such as Favorites, My 100, and Solar Terms, as well as new additions like Phrases to Break That Writer’s Block, Useful Sign Language Phrases to Know, and the Hobonichi’s Neighborhood: Kanda/Jinbo-cho Map, among others.
