Hobonichi has teamed up with Steiff, the oldest plush toy maker in the world, to bring you this special collaboration edition of the Hobonichi Techo Planner. At a glance, this book may look the same as a traditional Hobonichi Techo Planner, but look closely and you’ll see the Arts&Science trademark key icon has been replaced with a Steiff bear. This unique book has a teddy bear on the front cover, and the Steiff logo imprinted on the back cover. You’ll have a wonderful year ahead of you by spending it alongside the “forever friend” Steiff teddy bear, loved by many around the world. The contents inside this special edition Steiff Hobonichi Techo Planner are the same as the traditional Hobonichi Techo Planner.



The Hobonichi Techo Planner is the English version of the Japanese Hobonichi Techo Original and was specially created in collaboration with Arts&Science owner Sonya Park.



The book’s compact A6 size and page-per-day format provide a place to generously fill an entire year’s worth of spur-of-the-moment thoughts while still staying comfortably portable.
From the heartfelt to the humorous, the Hobonichi Techo includes quotes specially chosen from its parent site, the Japanese web magazine Hobo Nikkan Itoi Shinbun. Each two page spread contains a single quote.



The graph paper in the English version is slightly enlarged to 4 mm to allow users to write comfortably in any language. Timelines are simplified to a single 12 to denote noon so users can completely customize it to their own schedule (or ignore it completely), and each day is also labeled with the number of the consecutive week that year, from 1 to 52. Features such as a list of international holidays and international size charts cater to the worldwide community that comes together through this book. In addition, the 2018 edition includes informational pages in the back of the book about Japanese history, annual events, and folk tales.



The chic black cover features a subtle engraving of the Japanese characters for “techo” along with the Arts&Science logo.

When you purchase the planner in the online Hobonichi Store, the book comes with two free Hobonichi Store exclusives: a pair of “Meal Decider Dice” and a ballpoint pen.



The Hobonichi Techo book can be paired with our wide variety of cover designs, so take a look and pick out your favorite!
