This cover features an original textile by fashion brand mina perhonen. The “skyful” series, introduced in their 2013 spring-summer collection, is embellished with embroidered stars simulating the sky at night. The sparkle of these stars comes from the accent of the soft sheen of the blue and green rayon threads against the pink and black cotton threads. You can feel the texture of the embroidery on this playful cover. The round droplets making their way down the matching threaded bookmarks lead to charms made from the same material as the inside of the cover. The Hobonichi logo tag features the butterfly symbol of mina perhonen. To prevent rips in the textile and ensure long-term use, this cover does not contain an outer back pocket.

- Inquiries about the minä perhonen collaboration covers
- These Hobonichi Techo cover designs were directed by minä perhonen, but produced by Hobo Nikkan Itoi Shimbun. Inquiries about these covers cannot be answered at minä perhonen shop locations.
- Colors on the screen may differ from actual product
- Actual products are featured in all posted photographs, but please note that colors may vary slightly from how it appears on your computer monitor.
- All covers are hand-made and may contain slight variances
- Each and every cover is individually sewn by a factory worker hand-operating a sewing machine. Best efforts are made to ensure consistent sizes and specifications, but as these products are hand-made, covers are not made as exact copies.
- Embroidered and weaved material
- The embroidery and weaves protrude from the material, so please be careful not to catch sharp items such as a pen tip under the threads, which may unravel.
- No outer pocket
- Please note that this cover does not contain an outer pocket.
- About the bookmark
- The bookmark of this cover uses original minä perhonen lace straps.If you see any loose threads, we recommend refraining from pulling on it and tucking it between other woven threads.
- Color fading
- Please avoid rubbing or wetting your cover as the colors may fade.
- Avoid using with Cover on Cover
- This cover uses thicker materials than usual, so it may not fit.
Forcing it into a Cover on Cover may damage the products.
- New covers are slightly rigid before use
- Depending on the material of your cover, it may be slightly rigid upon arrival. You may have a slightly difficult time inserting your planner or closing the cover, but when you use the cover as usual, it will naturally break in and grow comfortable over time.
- Light-colored covers show smudges more easily
- While some covers are water-repellent, smudges and marks are unavoidable from using the cover on a daily basis.
Smudges show up more easily on light-colored covers, so please keep this in mind when placing your order.
- Inserting your planner into your cover
- When inserting your planner book into your cover, it will be easier to begin by sliding the left side of the book into the left pocket, and then inserting the right side.
- Pen holder (“butterfly clasp”)
- Hobonichi Techo covers come with pen holders that keep the pages shut. This holder may be rigid upon initial use, making pen insertion slightly difficult, but kneading the pen holder open will make it easier to use.
Depending on the material of the cover, pens with rubber grips may be difficult to slide into the holder.
- Using fountain pens
- Writing on the planner’s Tomoe River paper with a fountain pen may result in ink bleeds or transfers from wet ink.
When using water-based inks, we recommend testing the pen on an inconspicuous place in the book before using.
