Hobonichi 2026 Japanese Original Avec Books [A6/Jan Start/Mon Start/6-Month x 2]

Hobonichi Techo 2026 Japanese Original Avec Books (January Start)

A6 Size / Daily 6-month x 2 book set / Jan start / Mon start

The Avec was created for customers who found their books becoming bulky after a year of pasting materials into the daily pages. It divides the year into two six-month books: Book 1 (January–June) in a vibrant lime yellow and Book 2 (July–December) in a refreshing ice blue.



Because it’s split into two books, it’s lightweight which makes it easy to carry around, and it also won’t get bulky even if you paste many things into your techo.

The Avec version splits the one-page-per-day A6 Hobonichi Techo Original, design and all, into books of six months each with only slight variances in calendar spans and the number of extra pages in the back. This allows you to fill the pages to your heart’s content with scheduling, diaries, little notes, tickets, photographs, doodles, and anything that strikes your fancy.



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.
