minä perhonenchoucho (Navy)A6 Size (fits Planner and Original)

    minä perhonen creates timeless, all-original garment textiles that are specially dyed, embroidered, and woven to recreate hand-drawn designs.



    This design is made with the minä perhonen textile called “land puzzle,” which is a Jacquard corduroy material with a puzzle-like pattern, that has been embroidered with the images of free-flying butterflies. The combination of embroidery and a textile with shadows and textures that resemble a top-down view of a landscape complete the image of butterflies fluttering across a field in the calm air.







    The gray hue of the cover interior has a light feel to it. The cover includes two bookmarks, one a refreshing green and the other white. The zipper pull is made from natural leather and includes a cute butterfly charm as an accent.







    Each cover contains a unique arrangement of the pattern. We hope you enjoy your one-of-a-kind cover.

    *From the Hobonichi Techo 2024 lineup, the Original book is available as the Japanese edition and the English edition.
    (The English edition is only available as the January start version.)



    About minä perhonen

    minä perhonen is a brand created by designer Akira Minagawa.

    First founded in 1995 under the name minä, and renamed “minä perhonen” in 2003. In Finnish, “minä” means “I,” and “perhonen” means “butterfly,” expressing Minagawa’s hopes to create designs as light-hearted and beautiful as a butterfly’s flapping wings.

    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.

    Pattern alignment varies by product

    The patterned fabric has not been aligned to a specific layout, so the placement of each design will vary by product. The product will not be an exact replica of the one in the product photographs.

    Embroidered designs may be slightly distorted

    Due to the varied thickness of the material, embroidered designs may appear slightly bent.

    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.

    Coloring may stain other objects

    The dye in the cover may stain other objects if it rubs against or sticks to them, especially if the cover is wet from water or sweat from your hands. Please store with care.

    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.
