Liberty FabricsPaysanne BlossomHON / A6 Size / Daily / ENG or JPN edition / Jan start / Mon start

2025 New

This Hobonichi Techo HON is made with a beautiful printed textile from the venerable British fabric brand Liberty Fabrics.

The Hobonichi Techo HON has a hardcover design already attached to the book. It’s designed to make you feel like you’re carrying around a favorite book, which you can pull out at any time to make notes no matter where you are. The book has A6 size pages and features a page per day, so the contents are the same as the Hobonichi Techo Original.

Paysanne Blossom is a fruity botanical design with juicy strawberries studded amongst flowers drawn in delicate lines. The pink color of the pretty strawberries and the flowers in white and blue in different shapes and sizes give a sweet and refreshing impression.

The HON has two attached bookmarks — one navy and one beige — so you can mark your place in frequently used pages.

The book spine is foil-pressed in silver with the year 2025 and the HON logo for easy reference when placed in your bookshelf alongside other books.

The bookbinding on the HON has thread-stitch binding similar to the Hobonichi Techo Original, so it opens 180 degrees onto the table. It stays flat even if you don’t hold it down.

The book uses thin and light yet durable Tomoe River paper. This paper that underwent an overhaul with the 2024 edition techo is more resistant to bleed through, lighter despite being the same thickness, and has a smoother surface by adjusting the fibers of the paper.

The back of the book has bonus pages, including Sample Symbols and Icons, How to Have Fun Keeping a Diary, and Oodles of Noodles.

As a special exclusive only for the HON, this techo comes with a pencil board. The board is A6 size and clear, with 5mm grid lines printed across it. There are measurements printed along one side in 1mm increments, which allow for use as a ruler. It also has a pen holder attached to it where users can store pens by their clips.

The Hobonichi Techo HON comes in either English or Japanese. If you love this cover, then you can pick out which language you’d like in that book.

*Both the English and Japanese editions of the HON only come as January-start versions.

About Liberty Fabrics

Liberty Fabrics is a fabric brand from England. Founded in 1875 by Arthur Lasenby Liberty (1843-1917), who discovered the beauty of Japanese art during a World’s Fair in London in the 19th century.

The company originated as a small import shop with oriental ornaments and fabrics. The delicate silk and intricate hand-dyed art were praised by followers of the Aesthetic Movement, and in the 1880s, Liberty began printing high-quality cotton textiles as a way to recreate sturdy versions of the delicate Eastern silks.

In the 1920s, Liberty developed their original “Tana Lawn” cotton material, which looks and feels like silk and has a lightweight structure that allows it to drape beautifully. Liberty has created intricate prints bursting with color and complex designs ever since.

Savor the charm of the mainstream design

Michelle is a pattern from the standard collection, the Eternal Collection, with an indeed Liberty Fabrics style pattern. We selected this textile so that our users could feel the essence of Liberty Fabrics.

The inner covers of the Original and Cousin covers are a soothing blue-gray color. The bookmark is white to look beautiful with this cover.

The inner cover of the Weeks cover is pale yellow, different from the Original and Cousin covers. The gorgeousness will give you a bright feeling whenever you open the techo.

Paysanne Blossom, selected for the Weeks and HON covers, is a cute pattern of small flowers with strawberries casually sprinkled among them.

The year 2025 and HOBONICHI is foil-pressed in silver to avoid making it too cute. The result is a cover that is slightly retro and classical.

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.

Test fountain pens before regular use: The Hobonichi Techo's Tomoe River paper is designed to prevent bleed-through, but some fountain pens and water-based ink pens are not compatible with this paper. When switching to a new pen, we recommend testing the pen somewhere in the book, such as the back memo pages, to see if the ink bleeds through or takes an especially long time to dry.
Characteristics of materials and product design may result in white spots on the edges and corners of the front and back.: Characteristics of materials and product design may result in white spots on the edges and corners of the front and back. The corners of the cover contain light traces of press marks, shines, and lumps. This is an unavoidable part of the manufacturing process.
Not for use with Hobonichi Techo covers and Cover on Covers: This item has thickness to it and is firm, so it cannot be used with techo covers. Forcing it into a cover may damage the products. The Cover on Cover cannot be directly used over the HON. Please use the Clear Cover made for the HON.
*We do not recommend using the Clear Cover for products that use glossy paper (PP coated) for the cover material.

About the included pencil board: The pen hook on the pencil board can hold a pen by its clip.
