Hobonichi Techo Original Avec Books (January Start)A6 Size / Monday-Start Week / 6-Month x2 Book Set
We first introduced the Avec in response to customers who struggled with bulging books after collecting a year's worth of pasted material in the daily pages. The Avec version splits the A6 Hobonichi Techo Original, design and all, into a 2-book set at six months each with only slight variances in calendar spans and the number of extra pages in the back. This allows you to fill the pages to your heart’s content with scheduling, diaries, little notes, tickets, photographs, doodles, and anything that strikes your fancy.
(See the Exploring Each Type page for more details.)
Avec book covers come in bright colors to encourage the option of using the book as-is. Book 1 (January–June) is a bright lime yellow and Book 2 (July–December) is a cool ice blue. And because it's lightweight, it's perfect for carrying around with you.
When you purchase this book set in the Hobonichi Techo Official Store, the book comes with two free 2019 Hobonichi Store Exclusives: Not-Scary Bear Paperweight and a special Hobonichi Techo 2019 edition 3-Color Jetstream white ballpoint pen.
Although the books look nice on their own, the Original Avec can be used with the A6 Hobonichi Techo covers, which provide extra features and come in a wide variety of colors and designs.

- Test fountain pens before regular use
The Hobonichi Techo's Tomoe River paper is designed to prevent bleed-through, but some fountain pens and water-based ink pens are not compatible with this paper. When switching to a new pen, we recommend testing the pen somewhere in the book, such as the back memo pages, to see if the ink bleeds through or takes an especially long time to dry.
