This cover is an homage to Shigesato Itoi's 1994 Super Nintendo game, MOTHER 2 (EarthBound in North America). This year’s visit from the Mr. Saturns is not your average cover. Each Mr. Saturn is rendered with a fuzzy material to contrast against their standard cloth background.
This group is clamoring up to make a ladder, just like they do in the MOTHER series. It’s cute to watch them teeter to one side.
Look closer and you’ll see they’re talking.
“Only five can ladder.”
“Potential!”
“Boing Zoom!”
“We are... us.”
“Dakota!”
The Mr. Saturns appear on both sides, so you’ll always see them, whether you’re looking at the front or the back. The cover and its bookmarks are colored to match the MOTHER series’s trademark vibrant red.
It will make a very cute ornament for your desk—you’ll feel like you’re always accompanied by Mr. Saturns prompting you to spend laid-back days with them.
This cover includes bonus stickers you can use to mark your techo pages. They’re included on two sheets so you can keep one in perfect shape. Feel free to use these stickers on special days and on days that are nothing special!

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.
Please note that embroidered areas may contain threads that protrude from the design.
The material in this product snags easily on sharp objects, so please handle with care.
Due to the structure of the cover that opens flat 180 degrees, exterior stitching areas may appear puckered and lining material may be loose.
This cover uses thicker materials than usual, so it may not fit. Forcing it into a Cover on Cover may damage the products.
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.
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.
