In addition to the Arts&Science logo, the Japanese characters for “techo” (which means “planner”) are stamped in gold on the chic, textured cover. These characters signify our hope to spread Japanese “techo” culture all over the world.

The Hobonichi logo and the year appear on the spine for easy reference when storing the planner in a bookshelf.

The page corners are rounded to minimize creasing and damage to the edges when carried in a bag, for example.

Serial numbers on the inside back cover give each techo a unique identity, and make your planner your very own special book. The 2018-edition book features an updated serial number design.
