This striking cover features artwork of a large red bouquet of flowers we commissioned from painter Ichiro Yamaguchi especially for the Hobonichi Techo.
Just carrying around this artwork of the oversized flowers will make you feel gorgeous with the way the simple black lines contrast beautifully against the vibrant red colors.
The Hanataba series also comes in an A6 size cover for the Planner/Original and a Weeks book, but each artwork was individually created for each size.
The original painting has been faithfully recreated through silkscreen printing, which creates a glossy effect for the print.
The cover interior is black, and the pocket is printed with Yamaguchi’s signature.
When you spend a year with this cover and its eye-catching red flowers that are blooming brilliantly, you’ll be filled with the kind of happiness that comes from receiving a bouquet of flowers.
*The Hobonichi Techo Cousin Book comes in English versions from the Hobonichi Techo 2023 lineup.
*The English version is only available as the January start version.

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 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.
Due to the structure of the cover that opens flat 180 degrees, exterior stitching areas may appear puckered and lining material may be loose.
Silkscreen ink has a unique odor that may still be perceptible when you receive this product. If the odor bothers you, set the product in a well-ventilated place to reduce the odor over time.
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.
Letting the product sit against printed material or vinyl surfaces may result in transfers of the print and other damage.
The silk print may eventually peel or come off with daily use. If using a Cover on Cover, the silk print may stick to the plastic and eventually come off with it from the constant contact.
