Marine StripesA5 Size (fits Cousin)

    This cover contains a sailcloth material printed with blue and white stripes for a strong marine theme. The durable material has also been treated with a water-repellent finish. This classic item has a timeless design that you can use for a very long time.



    The skateboarding penguin and “Hobo” logo are printed on a tag to give the cover a sporty look.







    The butterfly stopper pen holders also have a striped designs. The cover has a refreshing look to it, even when it’s closed.







    The two bookmarks are made of blue ribbon that have round white charms on the end stamped with H to signify Hobonichi.







    The cover interior has also been treated with a water-repellent finish that also protects it against dirt and grime. The cover interior is mostly white, but the ticket pocket has blue and white stripes.







    A penguin is peeking out from inside the small pocket. Open the pocket a little further and you can see he’s riding a skateboard, with the charming little phrase, “Nice!”







    Marine Stripes uses Japan-made cotton sailcloth that’s sturdy and lasts a long time. The material softens as you use it over time, so you can enjoy the way the texture changes. The fabric is treated with a water-repellent finish that can repel a modest amount of water. If you’re at a place where it’s easy to accidentally get your cover wet, such as setting it down on a wet spot on a cafe table, if you wipe off the cover right away it won’t get stained. (The finish is not waterproof, so an excess amount of water may penetrate the gaps in the cloth texture.)







    The Hobonichi Techo 2023 lineup includes a Deco Rush product with this original skateboarding penguin design on decorative tape. Simply pull a piece of this tape along your techo page to fill it with penguins in various poses.







    This marine design makes for a cover that’s perfect for both those who want to be active and those who want to spend their time relaxing.

    *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.)

    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.

    Not for use with Cover on Cover

    This cover uses thicker materials than usual, so it may not fit. Forcing it into a Cover on Cover may damage the products.

    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.
