Hello, I’m Shiori from the Techo team. In this series of Hobonichi Techo News, we introduce what we love about the Hobonichi Techo. It is fun to know the team members’ favorites since I haven’t really heard about it from them before.

My number-one is the design of the techo book; I especially adore the colors. The colors and fineness of the grid lines are exquisite and not too assertive, but have enough presence for you to use them as you like. Let's take the “Secret Line” that I use to separate the page as an example.

▲This is the page for today, so most of it is still blank

I felt like making the left-side area a little bit smaller and decided to shift the line to the left.


The grid lines are modest, so it looks natural even if I draw a new line next to the Secret Line (although I eventually changed it back afterward). The best thing is that all twelve months have differently colored lines, all of which are very calming colors.

▲This is what the colors of the year look like.

This delicate use of color is what I like the most.

I keep a diary in my April-start version techo every year, and this year I started using the Weeks book instead of the Original book.

The Opanchu Usagi Weeks book is what I use

The 2-dot timeline on the weekly pages is so convenient!


They make it easy to understand my schedule especially when I move around during the day. It depends on my mood and timetable whether or not I split the dayーsometimes I feel like writing what happened, without splitting it.

See you in the next issue of the Hobonichi Techo News!
