Hobonichi Techo 2025 English Cousin Book (January Start) A5 Size / Daily / Jan start / Mon start

This listing is for a Hobonichi Techo 2025 English Cousin Book (January Start) A5 Size / Daily / Jan start / Mon start.

Features

This is the English version of the A5 size Hobonichi Techo Cousin with a page-per-day format.

The book layout is the same as the Japanese edition. Not only is it useful for writing down your plans for the day, jotting down memos, doodling, pasting event tickets or photos, the spacious Cousin is easy to use as a techo to write down everything work-related, as a family notebook, tracking the growth of children and pasting in pictures to create a family album or sharing pages among family members. Its also frequently used as a planner that is always kept on a desktop or table rather than carrying around.

After years of testing, the graph paper has been set to 3.7 mm for optimal writing comfort. The graph paper design allows users to write from any starting point on the page, and the lines have been printed in light colors so users can either customize it to their own layout or ignore it completely. Like with the Japanese version, each month is printed in a different color.

The Cousin also has an exclusive section: the popular weekly pages track a week in each two-page spread for easy planning and contain a handy time schedule.

The daily pages include a quote in English per two-page spread specially chosen from its parent site, the Japanese web magazine Hobo Nikkan Itoi Shinbun.

The book has the same thread-stitch binding as a dictionary, allowing it to lay flat open for comfortable writing. It stays flat even if you dont hold it down.

The book uses thin and light yet durable Tomoe River paper. This paper that underwent an overhaul with the 2024 edition techo is more resistant to bleed through, lighter despite being the same thickness, and has a smoother surface by adjusting the fibers of the paper.

Other than the daily pages with lots of space to write, the book contains several sections that are great for schedule management, such as a yearly calendar, monthly calendar, and yearly index page.

The back of the book has bonus pages that were chosen for the English edition book such as Words to Remember, 365 Days Check-Off Sheet and Getting the Most Out of Your Hobonichi Techo, as well as those included in the Japanese edition books: Sample Symbols and Icons, How to Have Fun Keeping a Diary, and Oodles of Noodles.

In anticipation of the English edition being used in various countries around the world, the calendars do not list holidays.
