MOTHER1994A6 Size (fits Planner and Original)

    This cover features a pattern based on the box art from the game’s original Super Famicom release in 1994. (Western audiences know the game as EarthBound, which was released for the Super Nintendo in 1995.)



    According to the game’s creator, Hobonichi’s Shigesato Itoi, the MOTHER series’ bright red boxes, with their gold and silver logos, weremodeled after Japanese chocolate bar packaging.



    The cover’s interior and bookmarks are both black, to set off the red exterior. The interior is also printed with the MOTHER 2 logo in white.







    MOTHER 2 was released in Japan on August 27th, 1994. The game’s box makes its comeback on a Hobonichi Techo cover.







    This cover includes a large Mr. Saturn sticker as a free bonus. The sticker has strong, fade-resistant colors, and the material lightly repels water, making it perfect to apply to durable items like suitcases.











    *This cover is from the Hobonichi Techo 2017 lineup.

    Please Read Before You Buy

    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.

    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

    Due to the structure of the cover that opens flat 180 degrees, exterior stitching areas may appear puckered and lining material may be loose.

    Outer pocket pattern may not align perfectly

    The outer pocket is designed to align with the pattern beneath it, but pattern alignments may be imperfect due to the manual production process.

    White spots around stitching

    Due to the characteristics of the print and product material, the sewing process may expose the white of the original material around the stitches.

    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.
