Hello, I’m Shioguchi from the techo team.

How have you been enjoying the issues for “My New Stationery - Spring 2024?”

Here are my new stationeries: the perfect companions for my Weeks books!



- uni-ball one 0.38mm Sesame gray
- Jetstream 3-color Slim Compact
- Clickbright Yellow
- Clear Cover for Weeks
- Chiratto Index Clip Orange
- Plus Whiper Petit 4mm
- Post-it Slim Mini Page Markers

After I started using the stationeries that worked well with the Weeks books for this year, I noticed they were making my techo time much more pleasant. Let me introduce some of my favorites.

The specially-selected pens
These three pens are newcomers.



1) uni-ball one 0.38mm Sesame gray
I add some lines with this pen and customize the format of the Weeks book weekly pages.



One of my favorite qualities of the Hobonichi Techo is that the lines are exquisitely thin and easy on the eyes, and this pen allows me to write similarly.

I only use black ink at work to avoid the trouble of switching through pens for different lines, but I prefer using lighter ink for the Weeks book since there are many lines that I want to add.

The subtle color fits nicely and has become one of my favorites.

2) Jetstream 3-color Slim Compact
I love this ballpoint pen so much that I have two of them: one for work and another at home.



Since my hands are slightly smaller than others, this slim body fits very well in my hand.

I use multi-colored pens for the compact Weeks book so that I can carry only a few pens with it.

This white pen version is designed for 0.5mm leads, but I have replaced it with a 0.38mm refill since I like fine leads better.

3) Clickbright
This pen is perfect for highlighting the Daily Quotes that catch my eye.


^See how nice and thin it is for the Daily Quotes!

Unlike typical highlighters, the nib of the pen is very thin.


^The top line is drawn with a Clickbright pen and below that with a common highlighter. The line is quite thin!


My first Clear Cover



・Clear Cover for Weeks

This year, I decided to use the Colors and chose a bright yellow color that I usually would not pick up. This made me want to keep my techo clean, and since I also wanted a pen holder, I decided to use the Clear Cover for the first time.

I prefer not to have a Clear Cover on my techo to enjoy the material of the original cover, but I find it convenient once I get used to it!


Index clips I buy again and again

I came across these index clips while struggling to find the index stickers that fit my taste.



- Chiratto Index Clip Orange

It has little protrusion, perfect thickness and hardness for pulling with your fingers, and it stays firmly even on the thin Tomoe River paper. I love them so much that I have repeatedly bought them.


Correction tape matching the Weeks paper color



- Plus Whiper Petit 4mm

The cream-colored paper is one of the Weeks’ features.

The tape color would stand out when using white correction tape, but this cream-colored one blends in with the Weeks book’s paper color.

I also like that it is small enough to fit in my pen case with other stationeries.


The small-size sticky notes that are useful on the monthly pages

As a sticky note user, I find these mini-size sticky notes useful.



- Post-it Slim Mini Page Markers

I use them as placeholders for the monthly pages by writing plans on them.

When my schedule changes, I can easily move them without the need to erase and rewrite, and the size is great for the narrow monthly pages.


Thank you for reading!
