    We held a vote on our Hobonichi homepage to see which retired cover we should bring back this year. The winner was the Hobonichi Techo Spring 2013 cover "Ukrainian Flowers." The design is based on the beautiful embroidery of traditional Ukrainian clothing, sorochka. The diagonal pattern on the pen holder is reminiscent of a boat cutting through ice as it carries on—a symbol of cutting through misfortune to make way for good luck.

    Front cover stitching close-up

    The embroidery is so tightly stitched, you can run your fingers over the designs and feel them protrude from the fabric. The navy flowers are adorned with neon yellow to accent the colors.

    Pen holder

    The diagonal stripes on the pen holder are also often featured in sorochka shirts.

    Tassels

    The tassel bookmarks are colored to match the flowers on the cover.

    The material used for the underside of the cover is made from synthetic fibers to allow the cover to open and close smoothly.

    A bonus item exclusive to Ukrainian Flowers

    A master of traditional Ukrainian embroidery shows us the art.

    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.

    Silk printed image may peel off over time

    The pattern on the pen holder is silk-printed onto the cover’s material. This delicate print may peel or come off with daily use. If using a Cover on Cover, the silk print may stick to the plastic and eventually come off with it from the constant contact.

    Sharp objects may unravel threads

    Threads protrude from the material, so please be careful not to catch sharp items under them as they may unravel.

    Fabric may pucker around the edges of embroidery

    The embroidered design on the cover is quite large, so the material may be slightly puckered, or wrinkled, around its edges.

    Interior of cover may be loose

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

    Linen threads may have uneven thickness or naps

    This cover is made with 100% linen, so the threads may naturally have uneven thickness or contain some naps/knots.

    Avoid pulling bookmark tassels

    Please avoid pulling on the bookmark tassels as it may result in the tassels snapping off.

    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.

    Sliding no-slip pens into the pen holder

    Pens with rubber, non-slip grips may be difficult to slide into the pen holder.

    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.

    Avoid using 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.

    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.
