Hi! I'm Tsuruki from the techo team.

For this series of the techo news where members write about various topics, we will be sharing techo, covers and stationery for 2024 and why.

However.
I have still yet to make up my mind for next year.



One thing I do know is that it's going to be one of the eight techo you see here.

For the Hobonichi Techo 2023, I chose the standard Weeks book for the first time in several years. The design I chose was Gurunpa's Kindergarten, in which I was in charge of writing the product detail pages for. It was a picture book I read over and over again as a child and couldn't resist.



However, I'd already used up 57 of the 71 memo pages at the back of the book by September.



I had the feeling that I would run out of memo pages by July, and so I started saving up space since then. However, it was a little stressful trying not to use up the memo pages knowing I don't have much left. I did try using it with the Hobonichi Memo Pad Set but I still prefer to have everything binded in a single book!

So, while there are lots of charming Weeks designs in 2024 too, I decided to go back to using the Weeks Mega. Looking at the lineup once again...



There are lots of great colors. I'm probably going for Sweet Apple that is easy to spot inside the bag or the refreshing Celeste Blue.

But when I asked staff members at Tobichi, they told me that Stylish Gray is really popular!

Hmm... I wonder which one I should choose. It looks like it's going to take a while until I finally make up my mind.

On the other hand, I have picked out some stationery already.

In September, I got my hands on KAWAISOUNI!'s Pen Case with Band. It's really practical because you can attach it to your Weeks book with an elastic band.



Two pens I recently bought and keep in this pen case are:



The Uni Ball One 0.38 and the Sarasa Nano 0.3 (Black) that a user told me goes really well with the Hobonichi Techo.



I split the left page of the Weeks book into three sections, but the subtleness of the Uni Ball One 0.38 in Nemophila Blue works great and I have been loving using it.

If you're like me and haven't chosen your techo for next year yet, let's take our time to make up our minds!

I hope you look forward to seeing what other team members have chosen for next year!
