PAMM: Thanks Sea A5 Cousin Size - Techo Lineup

PAMMThanks SeaA5 Cousin Size

2025 New

This techo cover was created with PAMM, who focuses on the idea of “Wear my thought.” The brand features attractive pajama sets designed to be worn during the time when you are truly all to yourself: in your dreams.

Thanks Sea is one of PAMM’s most popular pajama designs.

A sandy color background is woven with wavy blue lines that evoke the sea. There are also some sparkling silver accents reminiscent of the whitecaps of waves. The PAMM logo is woven in navy and silver threads.

The beige faux leather interior includes a pocket with a playful element. The wavy blue lines are silk-printed, and the curvy silver lines are foil-pressed for an elaborate look.

The interior pocket is debossed with the PAMM logo.

The bookmarks are a bold silver and a blue that’s familiar to PAMM users and reminiscent of sea waves.

The butterfly stoppers are also blue and silver.

The design name and its explanation embody the unique worldview of PAMM. You can find the meaning behind “Thanks Sea” in the column below.

If you think about the sea being turned into a techo so you can carry it with you every day, it feels like you can spend each day with an open mind.

Our PAMM product lineup includes socks and the pajamas their design is based on.

In the Hobonichi Techo 2025 lineup, the Cousin book comes in either English or Japanese.

*The English book is only available as the January-start version.

The thought behind Thanks Sea

PAMM designer Masahiro Tobita provided us with some words about the Thanks Sea textile, which the techo design is based on.

———

For what joy do we live?

Success,

income,

status,

fame…

These are good things,

but when you try thinking about them in specifics,

it’s tiring.

How about “gratitude?”

You live for the joy of “gratitude.”

It’s kind of a funny sentence.

I went to the seaside the other day.

It was okay when I decided to go that morning.

I drank beer with my lunch on the edge of the water and got tipsy.

It was Sunday, but without the area being popular, I had my own personal afternoon horizon.

A hawk drew circles in the sky.

The feel in the air was one of being alone yet completely protected by something.

I came to the ocean to forget that bitter feeling.

Ah, I forgot it all, then.

Ripples.

Watching the waves swaying on my bare ankles,

I felt somewhat dazed and weepy,

and I felt "gratitude.”

I’m so busy every day that you could say I’m at war

with things that make me angry, and things that make me think.

Everyone’s busy when they hate to lose.

Success,

income,

status,

fame…

For which do you live your life desiring?

That’s fine.

Go with that.

Aim for those, with “gratitude” in between.

You should all know the cause-and-effect of those and "gratitude.”

I created this new textile design with those thoughts in mind.

“Thanks Sea.”

Remember your “gratitude” when you wear these.

“Gratitude” is joy.

Fashion is joy.

About PAMM

This series of homewear was created by the fashion brand “spoken words project.”

Wearing PAMM means rethinking fashion communication.

What should I wear?

Think about it again.

What are clothes? Find your thoughts on it, and wear them.

PAMM: Wear my thought.

Expressing a classic design in an appealing way

You have pajamas on you for a long stretch of time as you’re asleep. Similarly, a techo is something you also keep close to you, so it seemed like a great fit. That’s what led me to try out the PAMM cover last year.

The exquisite detail across every inch of the cover made it very well-received, so this year I thought to revisit the PAMM lineup and offer one of the brand’s most classic and representative designs. I asked the staff at PAMM for guidance and we chose the Thanks Sea design.

After many meetings together and trial and error with knits, prints, and other techniques, we landed on these methods for creating the cover. I think the cover turned out very attractive, with a textile unlike any other.

We also made a PAMM Weeks book this year. Even if someone doesn’t know about the Hobonichi Techo, we hope the PAMM textile will appeal to someone enough to try it out.

PAMM creates their products with the concept “Wear my thought.” I hope users who choose this cover fill their techos with their everyday thoughts and feelings.

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.
Outer material frays easily: Threads on the outer material may fray if they catch on sharp objects or are tugged too strongly, so please handle with care.
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.
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.
Not for use with Cover on Cover: The PVC plastic of the Cover on Cover contains plasticizer additives which may cause a reaction in the leather dye and affect the color and quality of the leather cover. Please refrain from using the Cover on Cover with this product.
Surface of woven fabric may have dark lines, spots, and shadowing.: Due to the characteristics of the woven fabric, the surface may contain dark lines, spots, and areas that appear to have shadows. This is an unavoidable aspect of manufacturing.
