MotherMr. Saturn (Ninja, Bird-Fishing, Ladder)A6 Size (fits Planner and Original)
Mother (EarthBound in North America) is a video game series created by Shigesato Itoi, and after years of successful Hobonichi Techo cover designs, the series made its return to the lineup in 2018. 
The color of the leather is deep red to mimic the Japanese packaging for the Mother games. Mr. Saturn, one of the most popular characters in the game, is imprinted into the leather on the front of the cover. The pocket on the other side of the cover contains five Mr. Saturns forming a ladder. On the corner of the cover is the game logo.
When you open the cover, you can find a Ninja Saturn hiding inside a pocket with his handkerchief over his face.
On the bottom right is the logo for Mother 2 and Mother 3. Look closely and you’ll see a balloon floating up from behind the ticket pocket. What could that possibly be…?
“This place, all are Mr. Saturn.”
“All home! Zoom!”
“Boing!”
“You thank.”
Just watching the Mr. Saturns on this cover makes it feel like they’re about to start talking to you in their silly language.
Included free with this cover is a Mr. Saturn notepad. The notepad is in the traditional Japanese vertical style, with a color Mr. Saturn on the cover and monochrome Mr. Saturn on the pages. Written in the corner is the phrase, “Write so many.”
*This cover is from the Hobonichi Techo 2018 lineup.
