HOBONICHI TECHO 2020

ShakespeareA6 Size (fits Planner and Original)

In 2018, Hobonichi launched the Hobonichi School where people can learn about classical art and literature. The school aims to communicate that classical art and literature are more than facts and knowledge — it’s the very source of sympathy and gives us the courage to live. It’s with that theme that we chose Shakespeare for the first cover in this series.



The legendary William Shakespeare created over 40 plays over the course of his life, including Hamlet, Macbeth, and Romeo and Juliet. Nearly all of his works are regularly performed to this day. Of his collection of works, the one pictured on this Hobonichi Techo cover is entitled “Third Folio.” The famous image of this title page is even hung on the classroom wall of the Hobonichi School as a symbol of the school's previous lessons on Shakespeare.



The top of the title page reads in large letters, “Mr. William Shakespear’s Comedies, Histories, and Tragedies.”

The back of the cover contains the famous line from Hamlet: “To be, or not to be: that is the question.” The quote serves as a poignant starting point for your book.

The bookmarks are made of leather to bring together the classical feel of this cover.

Please Read Before You Buy

In order to provide you with the most satisfaction for your product, we've compiled a list of warnings, potential issues, and tips to keep in mind for this particular product. Please be sure to read this information carefully before placing your order.

Actual specifications may vary from listing

Each item is individually assembled and sewn by hand by a factory worker. Best efforts are made to ensure consistent sizes and specifications, but there may be slight differences.

Color and print may vary slightly

This material is first printed or dyed and then later sewn onto the cover. While colors are designed to be consistent, there may be uneven coloring or slight shade variances between covers. This may also happen across a single cover, such as a pocket compared to the rest of the cover. In addition, on rare occasions, there may be small black or white dots visible on the print. This is an unavoidable aspect of the manufacturing process.

Cover may contain variations in stitching or loose lining

When this cover is open flat, exterior stitching areas may appear puckered and lining material may be loose.

Silk printed image may peel off over time

The silk print may eventually peel or come off with daily use. If using a Cover on Cover, the silk print may stick to the plastic and eventually come off with it from the constant contact.

Pen holders are rigid at first

The pen holders are rigid at first, making it difficult to insert pens. You can speed up the breaking-in process by rolling the pen holders in your hand.

Pen holder fits pens up to 13.5 mm wide

The pen holder is designed to perfectly fit the 12.2 mm (0.48”) diameter Jetstream pen offered as a free Hobonichi Store Exclusive. Pens with certain shapes and materials may be difficult to pull through the holder. The holder can fit pens up to 13.5 mm (0.53”) in diameter.

Avoid storing in hot and humid places

Please avoid storing your product in hot, humid places or placing it atop other objects for long periods of time as this may result in lower quality and color stains.

Threads may protrude from pen holder base

Due to the nature of manufacturing and materials used, threads may inevitably protrude from the point of attachment of the pen holder to the rest of the cover.
