We first introduced the Avec in response to customers who struggled with bulging books after collecting a year's worth of pasted material in the daily pages. The Avec version splits the A6 Hobonichi Techo Original, design and all, into books of six months each with only slight variances in calendar spans and the number of extra pages in the back.
This allows you to fill the pages to your heart’s content with scheduling, diaries, little notes, tickets, photographs, doodles, and anything that strikes your fancy.
(See the Exploring Each Type page for more details.)
The ice blue book cover is sturdy, making it perfect for use as-is without storing in a cover. And because it's lightweight, it's perfect for carrying around with you.
The Hobonichi Techo Original Avec Book has special stitch-binding that allows the book to lay completely flat without having to hold it down.
The Avec Original can also be used with the A6 Hobonichi Techo covers, which provide extra features and come in a variety of colors and designs.

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.
The Hobonichi Techo's Tomoe River paper is designed to prevent bleed-through, but some fountain pens and water-based ink pens are not compatible with this paper. When switching to a new pen, we recommend testing the pen somewhere in the book, such as the back memo pages, to see if the ink bleeds through or takes an especially long time to dry.
Please note that we will not replace the packaging for the products if it has rips or damage.
