HobonichiHobonichi Pencil Board (Saul Leiter)For A5 Size

    Out of the Hobonichi Original accessories, the Hobonichi Pencil Board is one of the most popular items. Keeping it underneath the page you’re writing on allows the reinforcement to provide an enjoyable writing experience. They fit perfectly to the size of the techo book, and will prevent your pen from sliding on the page, and not leave indentations on the opposite page, making for a comfortable writing experience. 



    With this pencil board, you can carry around a photo by American photographer and painter Saul Leiter (1923-2013).



    The front fully prints photographs of New York in the 1950s. The A5 size features Don’t Walk, 1952, a photograph with an interesting contrast of the red lights that shine on a dark screen and a green umbrella. It takes you to a different world by simply gazing at them, and allows your imagination roam free.



    The back is a plain gray with the name of the piece printed on the bottom. One side is labeled by millimeter to act as a metric ruler, and a “Today” tab on the corner to mark the current page if you’d like to use it as a bookmark as well.

    About Saul Leiter

    Photographer and painter. Born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania in 1923. At 23 years old, moved to New York to be a painter. Developed an interest in photography when he met Richard Pussett Dart, an abstract expressionist painter who began using photography to create his experimental work. Between the 60’s and the 80’s, he took photographs for many fashion magazines, such as Harper's Bazaar, Elle, Show, Vogue (UK Edition), Queen, Nova, and more. In 1981, he closed his studio in New York’s 5th Avenue and proceeded to take pictures around the neighborhood of his East Village apartment, producing photography he showed no one. In 2006, his first photobook, Early Color, was published by German publisher Steidl and he became famous overnight at over 80 years old. He passed away in New York at 89 years old in 2013.
