This pencil board is specially made for each of the Hobonichi Techo book sizes. This item will keep your ballpoint pen from slipping and help prevent bumpy writing marks from appearing, improving the writing experience as a whole.



These pencil boards feature artwork from Tomie, the debut and one of the most iconic works of horror manga artist Junji Ito. Using original illustrations from the manga, created nearly 40 years ago in 1987, the designs capture the eerie, one-of-a-kind world Junji Ito is known for. All three sizes are finished with a shimmering holographic effect on the front to evoke Tomie’s elusive beauty and mysterious allure.



Tomie – Green for A6 size features a page from the Tomie: Passing Demon chapter, showing Tomie cheerfully strolling along. The back is a soft lavender color with an illustration of Tomie, raised in a grand mansion, dancing happily without a care.



Tomie – Red for A5 size showcases a panel from Tomie: Adopted Daughter, with Tomie staring ahead—elegant, yet cold. The back, in gray, depicts a young Tomie skipping along in a foreboding scene where she encounters something unsettling.



Tomie – Pink for Weeks size also uses artwork from Tomie: Adopted Daughter, trimmed into an oval shape. The back is light purple and shows the haunting scene of a girl discovering Tomie’s eerily beautiful hair in her father’s study.



Each pencil board includes an English message, subtly placed somewhere within the design. It’s an edited version for the Hobonichi Techo of a line spoken by a male character in the manga, describing Tomie’s irresistible charm:
Her clear eyes, sweet and tart voice, and the fragrance that lingers on her skin... no one could possibly compare to Tomie.



The back has markings at 1mm intervals along the long edge, so it can also be used as a ruler.



The corner of the pencil boards include a “Today” tab, which will act as a bookmark to show which day you’re on if you put it between the pages of your techo.



We recommend pairing these with the Tomie-themed techo covers and Weeks books for a fully immersive experience.



In addition to these, the Junji Ito Tomie lineup also includes stamps and sticky notes to add a chilling twist to your everyday life.
