A colored pencil piece by iyo okumi, the embroidery artist and illustrator behind the design A Story About Me for the Hobonichi Techo cover and Weeks, has been turned into Brief Message Memos.



This item is inspired by the scenery okumi sees on her walks, and the idea that sprang from this view, of old days long gone, but that existed nonetheless.

The artwork in colored pencil, Some Days Ago, depicting a vividly detailed flower bed and meadow, offers a different kind of charm from her embroidery works.



There are two different designs of fifteen pages each in every thirty-sheet booklet, with two booklets in each set.

It is top-bound and measures 9.7cm tall and 6.3cm wide.

You can slide the spine of the booklet into a techo cover pocket to have it with you on the go.



Carry it around with your techo to use as a memo pad, or take out individual pages and use them as message cards to send someone a heartfelt note. You can gift someone the sheets, to share okumi’s beautiful illustrations with those important to you.



iyo okumi’s lineup also includes pencil boards and stickers. Try using them together as a matching set.
