After many years of customer requests for a plain notebook that feels just like the Hobonichi Techo, the Hobonichi Plain Notebook made an appearance from 2019. For our third year, a Plain Notebook with a decorated cover joins the lineup.



Wish Upon a Star was designed by Yuka Hiiragi, whose wide range of work involves illustrations, writing, and isn’t confined within a specific genre. It's a chic design with a black base, with women and horses looking up to the shooting star and freesias and Christmas roses framing them drawn with a delicate touch.



The Tomoe River paper is the same thin, durable paper as that used in the Hobonichi Techo. This allows the 240-page book to stay at a mere 8mm thick, giving you plenty of room to fill to your heart’s content.



The 3.7 millimeter graph paper is also the same as that of the Japanese-edition Hobonichi Techo Original. The color of the ink on the page changes every 60 pages (red / blue / green / purple), making it easy to split the book into several themes or use the colors as a way to more easily find old entries.



The notebook size is the same as the A6 Planner, which makes it compatible with any of the Planner’s Hobonichi Techo covers. The cover is great for storing items like pens or sticky notes and provides a very convenient user experience.
(Also available in A5 size.)



You can also buy several notebooks and establish a single theme to keep across each book.



The notebook is also a great supplement to the Hobonichi Techo, or simply a smaller-size notebook to keep by your side for filling with lots of writings or drawings.
