The techo cover that comes with this set is from the Colors series that are a regular part of our cover lineup, available in a variety of solid colors. The simple design makes it easy to use in any situation and is a popular choice. You can choose from six colors: Colors: Black x Clear Blue, Colors: Navy, Colors: Dreamy Soda, Colors: Denim Blue, Colors: Caramel Pink, and Colors: Pineapple.
Also included in the Hobonichi Techo: Standard Set are two standard and popular accessories you can use with the Hobonichi Techo.
The Cover on Cover for A6 Size is an optional, extra covering that fits select Hobonichi Techo covers to protect them from wear and tear. It also provides a place to store postcards, pictures, and other decorations to spruce up the look of your cover.
The Hobonichi Pencil Board - Planner/Original (Navy x Pink) is an practical item that prevents leaving indentations on the opposite pages even with the Hobonichi Techo's thin and light Tomoe River paper.
This set also comes with the 2022 edition Hobonichi Store Exclusives: the Not-Scary Bear's Little Spoon and 3-Color Jetstream Ballpoint Pen (the 2022 edition has a mint green pen body). (Available while supplies last)

Cover on Cover for A6 Size
Hobonichi Pencil Board - Planner/Original (Navy x Pink)- 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.
- 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.
- Avoid cold temperatures
The PVC vinyl of the Cover on Cover may lose elasticity and become difficult to put on when left in cold temperatures. If this happens, we recommend letting the product sit in a warm area before applying to your cover. Please be careful when handling your Cover on Cover in cold temperatures, as it becomes more susceptible to damages if dropped or handled roughly.
