junaida《ジュナイダ》LapisA6 Size (fits Planner and Original)

This cover features an all-over print of a piece from junaida’s "Lapis" art series. The piece is modeled after an ore shimmering in the dark, and depicts energy building up and rising from the soundless ore. The image printed on this cover was also used as the cover for the Lapis art collection book. Across the front of the cover to the back are four young women dancing in dresses of the ores.

The print comes on polyester material to stay true to the deep black color and effects of the watercolor paint. The cover interior is made with faux leather, and is black to match the cover and bookmarks.

Bookmark close-up

The usual triangle and rectangle charms at the ends of the bookmarks have been removed to simplify the cover features and direct attention to the artwork on the cover.

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.

All covers are hand-made and may contain slight variances

Each and every cover is individually sewn by a factory worker hand-operating a sewing machine. Best efforts are made to ensure consistent sizes and specifications, but there may be slight differences.

Design may contain smudges or uneven coloring

During the print process, patterns may contain spots where the color has become smudged or uneven.

No outer pocket

This cover does not contain an outer pocket.

White spots around stitching

The design is printed over white material, so the sewing process may expose white areas around the stitches.

Interior of cover may be loose

The interior of the cover may not be perfectly taut due to limitations during the manufacturing process.

Ends of bookmarks may fray

The bookmark strings have only been heat-treated at the tips after being cut, so they may begin to fray over time.

Maximum pen width of 13.5mm for pen holder

The pen holder is designed to perfectly fit the 12.2mm (0.48”) diameter Jetstream pen offered as a free bonus gift with select Japanese-version Hobonichi Web Shop products. Pens with certain shapes and materials may be difficult to pull through the holder. The holder can fit pens up to 13.5mm (0.53”) in diameter.

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.

“Cover Only” price change

Due to an increase in material costs and other unavoidable factors, starting with the 2017-edition, it has become difficult to maintain the usual price of our Colors and Faux Fabric covers. In order to maintain the price of the covers, we will be offering these covers at the usual price when bought as a set with the Hobonichi Techo book. We apologize for the trouble, but when ordering the cover without a book, we will not be able to keep that price, so Cover Only orders will cost slightly more. Please add to your cart as a “Book & Cover set” to keep the cover’s lower price.

Color may vary slightly based on viewing screen

The color of the product may be slightly different in actuality than compared to how it appeared on a computer or smartphone screen.
