Hobonichi HON 2026 Paper Series: Black Gingham [ENG/A6/Jan Start] HON

Paper Series

Black Gingham

HON / A6 Size / Daily / ENG / Jan start / Mon start

The Paper series uses the nuanced paper from the paper company Takeo for their covers.

This book might look like a plain black Techo at first glance, but upon closer inspection, you'll notice the entire surface is adorned with a plaid pattern. The book is made of Takeo’s “Gingham GA,” a paper embossed with plaids reminiscent of gingham. You can see the gingham pattern from different angles of light. Although it’s embossed, it feels smooth to the touch. The year 2026 is foil-pressed in silver.




Please note that the cover of this HON book is thinner and softer than the other HON books since it is made by cutting off the sides of the cover instead of wrapping the cover material around the cardboard. It doesn’t come with a bookmark, so just use the included pencil board instead.



The low-key pattern is perfect for users looking for a simple yet unique design. This book will blend in at work with a charm that only you would notice.

The HON features thread-stitch binding, much like the Hobonichi Techo books, allowing it to open fully flat at 180 degrees on the table. It stays open without needing to be held 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.



The back of the book features bonus pages, such as Memories 2026, 12 Switches to Help You Focus, and For a Comfortable Night’s Sleep.



As a special exclusive for the HON, this Techo includes a clear pencil board. The board features 5mm grid lines and 1mm increment measurements along one edge, making it useful as a ruler. It also comes with a pen holder, allowing users to conveniently store pens by their clips.
