We created the Hobonichi Graph Notebook in response to requests for a standard notebook that feels just like the Hobonichi Techo.



These graph notebooks feature designs from Moomin, the beloved series created in 1945 by Finnish author, painter, and artist Tove Jansson.

The cover uses an illustration from the novel Moominsummer Madness, showing Moominpappa struggling to write a play script, with Moomintroll watching over him with concern.

Below the Hobonichi Graph Notebook logo is a message in Finnish that reads:

“Write as much as you like.”



The cover is made from matte gray material with silver foil stamping for the Hobonichi Graph Notebook title, the Finnish message, and the Moomin logo on the back.

The red spine tape adds a crisp accent, resulting in a color scheme that highlights the charm of the characters while maintaining a sophisticated look.



The back cover also features an illustration from Moominsummer Madness, this time of Moominpappa hard at work rewriting the script for the play to be performed with all his friends.



The notebook has thin and durable Tomoe River paper and opens completely flat. It comes in two sizes: A6 to match the Original, and A5 to match the Cousin. The A6 size notebook is 8mm thick and contains 240 pages, while the A5 size is 10mm thick and contains 288 pages. This gives you plenty of space to fill the notebooks to your heart’s content.



The 3.7 millimeter graph paper is the same as that of the Hobonichi Techo Original and Cousin. The color of the ink on the page changes (red / blue / green / purple) every 60 pages in the A6 size, and every 72 pages in the A5 size. This makes it easy to split the book into several themes or use the colors as a way to more easily find old entries.



Because the book sizes match the A6 Original and A5 Cousin Hobonichi Techos, you can use these notebooks with a techo cover. The cover is great for storing items like pens or sticky notes, and provides a very convenient user experience.









The Moomin lineup also includes plenty of coordinating stationery items you can enjoy together.



The notebook is a great supplement to the Hobonichi Techo, or simply a smaller-size notebook to keep by your side for filling with lots of writings or drawings.
