Hobonichi 2026 English Original Book [A6/Jan Start/Mon Start]

Hobonichi Techo 2026 English Original Book (January Start)

A6 Size / Daily / Jan start / Mon start

This is the English edition of the A6 size Hobonichi Techo Original book with a page-per-day format.

The classic Hobonichi Techo has been a favorite since its debut in 2002, and the 2026 edition celebrates its 25th anniversary. Its daily pages provide ample room for creativity, even with its handy A6 size. The graph paper layout makes it easy to organize your writing, clippings, and sketches neatly.

After years of testing, the graph paper has been set to 3.7 mm for optimal writing comfort. The graph paper design allows users to write from any starting point on the page, and the lines have been printed in light colors so users can either customize it to their own layout or ignore it completely.

The daily pages include a quote per two-page spread specially chosen from the Hobonichi website.




The book has the same thread-stitch binding as a dictionary, allowing it to lay flat open for comfortable writing. It stays flat even if you don’t hold it down.

The book uses thin and light yet durable Tomoe River paper. It's characterized by its ability to hold ink well and provide a smooth writing experience.



Other than the daily pages with lots of space to write, the book contains several sections that are great for schedule management, such as a yearly calendar, monthly calendar, and yearly index page. The back of the book has bonus pages, including Memories 2026, 12 Switches to Help You Focus, and For a Comfortable Night’s Sleep.
