This cover is produced by Arts&Science, a brand and shop lead by Sonya Park, who is also the creative director of the Hobonichi Techo Planner. Every year, the Arts&Science covers are made with a high quality leather, and this year is the first time the series is made with a mix of cloth and leather.
The cloth is an original linen textile created by Arts&Science. The material is sturdy and used in bags and accessories.
The calf leather is black, vegetable-tanned, and made in Italy.
The cover interior is made in Japan and uses mature cow leather called steerhide. Both types of leather develop a sheen over time and allow users to enjoy watching them mature over years of continued use.
There’s a handle on the spine of this trifold cover, making it easy to hold open and use even while standing — simply put your fingers through the handle to hold it. When you’re not using the techo, it will close flat and stay comfortably compact.
This high-level techo cover combines a totally unique design with great practicality.
The cover is also available in an all-leather version exclusively available at Arts&Science shops.

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.
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.
This product uses delicate leather that accentuates the natural qualities of the material There may be unavoidable marks in the leather that occurred during the manufacturing process. There also may be original imperfections visible on the surface of the leather, such as wrinkles, scratches, stains, or vein marks. We ask for your understanding for these naturally-occurring characteristics of genuine leather, and hope you enjoy the material as these imperfections come to stand out less over time.
Dyed leather products tend to leave stains. Please be careful not to allow the leather to adhere or rub against other objects such as clothing or other belongings, especially if the bag is wet from water or sweat from your hands.
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.
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.
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.
