Hobonichi Techo Cousin Avec Books (January Start)A5 Size / 6-Month x2 Book Set / Monday-Start Week
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 Japanese A5 Hobonichi Techo Cousin, 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 in the Hobonichi Techo Official Store, the book comes with two free 2020 Hobonichi Store Exclusives: Small Hobonichi Hyakunin-isshu: a deck of 100 illustrated karuta cards containing traditional Japanese poems and a special Hobonichi Techo 3-Color Jetstream ballpoint pen. (The 2020 edition has a red pen body.)
*The ballpoint pen has ended. 
Although you can use the book on its own, you can pair it with a cover of your choice from our large selection of convenient A5 size Hobonichi Techo covers.

- 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.
