MoominHobonichi Pencil BoardFor A6 Size / A5 Size / Weeks

2026 New

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.

The Moomin series was created in 1945 by Tove Jansson—Finland’s beloved author, painter, and artist.

Set in Moominvalley, the stories follow the gentle and curious Moomintroll; the dream-chasing and romantic Moominpappa; the warm-hearted and nurturing Moominmamma; the mischievous and strong-willed Little My; and the freedom-loving, solitary Snufkin—a cast of unique characters embarking on delightful adventures.

These pencil boards were created to match the three sizes of the Hobonichi Techo and feature scenes from the beloved world of the Moomin stories.

The A6 size features an illustration from the novel Finn Family Moomintroll. Moomintroll, Snufkin, and Sniff discover a mysterious hat lying on top of a mountain. The back of the board shows Moominpappa trying on the hat and admiring himself in the mirror.

The A5 size also features a scene from Finn Family Moomintroll. Moomintroll and his friends are playing in a jungle that the mysterious hat has caused to grow around the Moominhouse. The back shows the moment when Moominmamma wakes up and realizes her room is filled with tiny white flowers.

The Weeks size illustration comes from the novel Comet in Moominland. It depicts an extravagant grand ball where tiny water spirits, bugs, and tree spirits have all gathered. The back shows the characters dancing joyfully around the ballroom.

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.

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