Hello, I’m Shiozaki from the Techo Team.

For this edition of the Techo News, I’ll introduce the Hobonichi Techo 2025 planners I chose.



It turned out to be a simple selection this time. Seeing them lined up like this makes me realize this might be my current mood.

Purchased Items:

- Planner Book
- Charcoal Gray [A6 Original Size]
- Bow & Tie: Snake Toy
- Fireside Chat Notebook (B7 Size)

I bought two planners, just like this year?one for work and one for personal use.

First, for work, I’ve decided to try using the Planner for the first time.



When I open it, the clean, elegant pages feel so refined. Since this is my first time using this planner, I’m feeling both excited and a bit nervous to start.



The Planner’s pages are mainly printed in a sophisticated charcoal gray, but Sundays are highlighted with a vivid red. It’s crisp and pleasing to the eye.



Another highlight is that the daily quotes are in English. I’ve always wanted to study English but haven’t taken any action yet. So, I’m thinking of challenging myself to translate one page a day into Japanese. (Here’s hoping I stick with it...)



I plan to pair this Planner with the trifold leather Charcoal Gray cover.





I’m also secretly thrilled that the cover’s charcoal gray complements the Planner’s print color perfectly.

For personal use, I decided on a Weeks.

I had already planned to use a Weeks for personal matters but hadn’t given much thought to which design to choose. Then, while wandering around the Tobichi store, I came across this one: Snake-kun.



It was featured in the Secret to Bow & Tie, guiding me through the contents with such charm that I couldn’t help but read it thoroughly. As someone born in the Year of the Snake, I immediately felt a connection and decided on this one.



The base is a sophisticated gray-beige, accented with vibrant blue and red. It’s both cute and chic, making it wonderfully stylish. It also pairs well with simple items.

Since this is my zodiac year’s planner, I want to fill it with all the things I love.

After much deliberation (a fun annual tradition), I ended up choosing something fresh and different from what I originally had in mind. I’m very happy with my selection.

What planners will be chosen next? Stay tuned for more updates to come!
