Hobonichi Website Question


Tasmith

Recommended Posts

While trying to go to the Hobonichi website, I typed in www.1101.com instead of clicking on the link www.1101.com/store that is in a previous thread.

 

What I got instead of the of the Hobonichi website was a site in Japanese that didn't seem to have anything to do with Hobonichi. I hope i didn't open a redirected site that could have a virus or malware.

 

Am I being worried about nothing?

It's a personal web-news page by Japanese writer Shigesato Itoi.

 

No virus nor malware, I suppose.

 

 

 

Yet, I don't know the relationship between Hobonichi papers and Mr. Itoi.

Thank you. It just caught me off-guard when it happened.

 

I wonder why both websites use the same www.1101.com url?

Yes it is a bit odd that they don't have a custom domain. It does appear that someone is cybersquatting on the .com site they might have chosen, but surely the could come up with something else.

 

I signed up for their mailing lists and now I get strange emails in Japanese. I have no idea what they are about.

Web research revealed that "Hobonichi techno" is produced by Mr. Itoi and also sold in this site for Japanese market.

As there's no language option, I cannot find English version.

 

This site is genuine, but only written in Japanese.

Sorry for inconvenience.

- of course, there's no relation between "Hobonichi" and me.

Thank you for the clarification.

 

Just ordered the Hobonichi Techo Cousin with Safari cover set and A5 pencil board.

Thought the Hobonichi covers were expensive, but when I searched for other A5 covers, the quality ones were priced similar.

Here you go: http://hobonichiplanner.com/ :)

 

It redirects to a subdirectory of the 1011 domain, but it's an easy to remember URL that leads to the right place.

      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..

      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
