LeatherSilent NightA5 Size (fits Cousin)
- 2024 New
This trifold cover is made of deep navy leather reminiscent of a quiet night sky.
The leather is “ALBA LUX” made by “Yankee,” a tannery established in 1989 in Tuscany, Italy. The belly of the top-grade French raw hides is tanned with vegetable tannin, adding vegetable oil and grease to give the leather its unique softness. This cover allows you to fully enjoy the allure of deep Italian leather, carefully crafted with the power of nature.
The trifold design wraps around your techo and snaps shut with two buttons that twinkle like the stars in the night. The cover will protect your techo inside your bag, but it will open easily when you want to use it.
The pen hook inside the cover is designed to hold a pen by its clip, and the pen fills out the cover nicely when closed.
The Hobonichi logo is foil-pressed in gold on the right-hand pocket.
*In the Hobonichi Techo 2024 lineup, the Cousin book is available as the Japanese edition and the English edition.
(The English edition is only available as the January start version.)
The Hobonichi Techo leather covers are made with all-natural materials that have their own unique appearance. Every leather cover is a one-of-a-kind, all-natural product, so you can feel good knowing your cover is the only one like it in the world. Here are some of the unique characteristics you can expect to find.
- Markings that naturally occur during an animal’s life
Wrinkles, veins, texture, and scratches
- Characteristics from the manufacturing process of natural leather
Dark spots (occurs when components of the leather are exposed to iron in the air during the tanning and dyeing process)

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.
- Leather may contain preexisting wrinkles and marks
In order to allow customers the enjoyment of all-natural leather, the leather is processed in a way that retains its original feel. This may leave imperfections visible on the surface of the cover, such as wrinkles, scratches, stains, or vein marks.
Depending on the conditions in which the cover is used, natural oils of the leather may emerge and appear as stains. We ask for your understanding for these naturally-occurring characteristics of genuine leather.- Leather coloring stains
Dyed leather products tend to leave stains. Please be careful not to allow the leather to adhere or rub against other objects such as clothing or other belongings, especially if the bag is wet from water or sweat from your hands.
- Immediately dry if it gets wet
Immediately dab your product with a dry cloth if it gets wet. Avoid drying it with high temperatures, and place it in a well-ventilated place in the shade.
- The cover does not shut tightly
The cover does not shut tightly while it is new, but it will wear in over time.
- 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.
- Gently knead your cover to soften before use
The leather material is stiff at first, so your cover may not close all the way. Before use, gently knead the cover to soften the leather.
