Description

Large Hobonichi 5-Year Techo Japanese Book (2025-2029) [A5 size]

A5 Size / 2025-2029 / Five Years in One Book

This A5-size book has pages dated across a 5-year span. The textured cover is a calming shade of brown with the years foil-pressed in gold, and the book contains a dark brown bookmark for a complete look that works well without adding an additional cover.

Each page contains the same, easy-to-use 3.7 mm graph paper as the A5 Hobonichi Techo Cousin, making it perfect for writing or drawing. The paper is a subtle cream color thats easy on the eyes, and the printing is charcoal gray to allow handwriting to stand out from the page.

On each spread, the left page has the date and day of the week for all 5 years, with days of the week written in Japanese.

Because its the Large Hobonichi 5-Year Techo, youll be able to write about your everyday life to your hearts content. Theres plenty of space to record your five years as freely as you like you can write using a thick pen or add drawings. (Holidays are not listed in the book.)

This larger version works great as a shared diary among family members or a team notebook shared among several people at work.

The right page is a blank page for anything youd like continuing entries you couldnt fit on the left, jotting notes youd like to leave for the future, pasting items, and more. The Japanese daily quotes on the bottom of the page are excerpts from Hobo Nikkan Itoi Shinbun articles from the past years. We renewed the daily quotes from the 2023 edition, five years after its first release.

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.

The start of the book contains a yearly calendar across the 5-year span. The back of the book contains useful pages such as A Year Per Page memo pages, Gifts for tracking gifts given and received, Addresses to list important contact information, My Lists for making a list of any theme of your choice, My Favorite Things to write down your favorite things by answering questions, and Personal Notes to record information about yourself. (These pages are in Japanese.)

The Large Hobonichi 5-Year Techo will be delivered in a turquoise blue paper box. The box will contain a user manual and a test sheet of paper for you to get a feel for the paper and test pen or ink compatibility.

We have examples of how you can use your 5-Year Techo on the5-Year Techo page. We also havecoversavailable for the Hobonichi 5-Year Techo.

Not only does it keep pens from slipping and makes writing more manageable, but it also serves as a bookmark for the page that you are writing. Its a standard item that would excellently match your techo.

What is Tomoe River paper?

The Hobonichi Techo’s Tomoe River paper is designed to prevent bleed-through, but some fountain pens and water-based ink pens are not compatible with this paper. When switching to a new pen, we recommend testing the pen somewhere in the book, such as the back memo pages, to see if the ink bleeds through or takes an especially long time to dry.
