Hello! This is from the techo team.

With so many exciting new items releasing again this year, I couldn't make up my mind, so i tried focusing on the core question of “Who do I want to become in 2027?”, here is what I decided on!

First up, my main techo cover is Glow: Chianti.



Over the past year or so, I noticed a change in myself: whenever I saw a well-worn leather cover, I’d think about how stylish and cool it looked. I also felt that people who lovingly use an item for a long time are wonderful, and a growing longing welled up inside me: I want my very own leather cover that I’ve broken in until it’s soft and well-loved!

Since leather has its own distinct individuality piece by piece, after ordering it from the official Hobonichi Store, I was so excited waiting for it to arrive, wondering what unique characteristics my leather cover would have.

And then! When it arrived, my heart beat fast as I opened the box and took it out of the bag. Facing the leather cover at last, it truly had its own unique personality, and I felt so thrilled knowing I’m going to age and nurture it myself from here on out.


Even the little marks are delightful expressions of the covers originality.

For my personal life, I had long been a loyal user of the Cousin size and A5 HON. But the moment I laid eyes on this cover, I knew I wanted to carry it around everywhere and write in it casually — so I switched to the Original size this time!

As for daily journaling, I started a Large 5-Year Techo last year. So to organize my thoughts and freely jot down ideas as a loose notebook, I decided to pair this cover with an A6 graph paper notebook.



The Moomin design and the notebook’s color palette complement the cover beautifully, soothing my mind every time I open it. Thinking about all the hands that went into crafting this piece, I plan to treasure and care for this cover deeply for years to come.

As for stationery, I picked up the items I knew I had to buy even before their official release!
The Hello Kitty Stappo, whose design I fell in love with at first sight, paired with the perfectly matching Hobonichi Techo Mini Keychain in Red!



Both share matching red and yellow accents for a cohesive look, so I knew I wanted to attach this keychain no matter what!



To show off how cohesive they look, I tucked the Mini Keychain right inside! What do you think?

Just like , thinking about how everyone will invent their own unique arrangements and uses for items like the Hobonichi Techo Mini Keychain makes me so excited, and I want to try out my own creative setups, too!

Another item I immediately decided to buy after seeing it in person was the V&A Sticky Note Set!

The design is so elegant and beautiful that just looking at it brings pure joy. It uplifts your mood when writing, and anyone receiving a note written on it would be thrilled!



I tried sticking one onto the very first page of my graph paper notebook. Just doing this makes the page look so polished, and it matches the cover wonderfully! My imagination ran wild: writing goals on the sticky notes, then using the surrounding grid page to record my thoughts and action steps toward them.



Plus, it fits right inside the front pocket of the stappo! I can’t wait to use it a ton.

Since there are still plenty of stationery items on my wishlist while I carefully evaluate their uses, I’ll keep holding my internal techo meeting!

By the way, I'll be using the ONE PIECE HON for the third consecutive year! Just a little longer until the October release—I can’t wait!

Look forward to tomorrow’s Techo News update!
