Hobonichi Techo Available With April Start Version

Recommended Posts

I'm not sure if you gentle-people in paper land knew this, but there is a version available with an April start and either Monday or Sunday as start of the week, too. Yes, they're expensive, but the TR paper and design is wonderful. Here's my sample order and links:

00021958 Original Hobonichi Techo Book (April start w/Mon) Japanese x 1 / 2160 yen / 2160 yen

I got my first Hobonichi this year. I got the January start (even though I bought it at the end of February) and in English. My weeks start on Monday. Wonderful paper, and I am sure I will use up the missed first 2 months for something! Not terribly artistic in how I use it: mostly bullet journal style, but I occasionally fill a page up with a tanglepattern or somesuch. I got the Techo version plus a blue outside green inside cover (may get a different cover next year, although this one is very nice).

I actually saw that cover and was going to get it; I'll probably go the route of another One Star Leather Journal cover. Good luck with it!

Wow, that is one expensive alternative. More than double the cost of the leather covers available directly from the Hobonichi site. Admittedly the Hobo leather covers are not custom jobs, but still...

 

The One Star cover looks great but exceeds any limit I may have for such things, alas.

Yup, they are expensive, but really the best I've seen with that Horween leather; they were at the LA Pen show and I managed to scoop up some great discounts and see the work first hand.

 

This will actually be my second Hobo, having gotten the cousin version earlier - I'm enjoying rotating through the Hobo and my Midori (mainly for my Kanji study), and I'll use the smaller Hobo for personal journaling. I never knew how really great TR paper is, and wonderful for fountain pens or even a little watercolor coloring too.

I'm using the Hobonichi Techo as a daily planner for the first time this year (January start, week starts on Mondays) and am completely smitten. I already have a reminder in it to order the 2016 version early - the store where I bought it ran out of the supply quickly last fall.

I'm also using the English-version Techo for the first time this year, and I love it. I ordered it last October and used a mocked-up version in their little notebooks until the year started, so I'm about 4 1/2 months into it. I'm not artistic -- there's very little drawing in it, but I use multiple colors of ink and a growing collection of washi tape and stickers. I put my to-do list and appointments in, and then make notes about whatever I want as the day goes on.

Good luck with it; keep in mind they ship quickly from their webshop and have lots of great accessories including the page markers and rivet bands:

Good luck with it; with the many ink colors sometimes comes longer dry times, so I've been using the Herbin blotting paper; also doubles as a bookmark. Here's a shot of my Techo Cousin and Kanji practice :)

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..
    • A Smug Dill
      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
