Main pages
Here’s an overview of the 5-Year Techo’s main pages.
-
Daily Pages (5 Years Each)
-
- 3.7 millimeter graph paper
- The 5-Year Techo has the same 3.7 millimeter graph paper as the Original and Cousin. Feel free to write along the lines of a single line or two ― or just ignore the lines altogether.
-
- Daily page across five years (left page)
- This simple design lists only the date, day of the week, and the five years. Starting from the second year, you will also experience the joy of reading what you wrote the previous year.
*Pages do not list Japanese holidays or lunisolar calendar dates.
-
- Memo page (right page)
- The right page is a blank page for anything you’d like — continuing entries you couldn’t fit on the left, jotting notes you’d like to leave for other years, pasting items, and more.
-
- Daily quotes
- Since its launch in 1998, the Hobonichi website has been updated daily. Each two-page spread features a carefully selected quote, chosen from the site's extensive collection of content.
-
- Monthly tabs
-
- Similar to a dictionary, each month is printed with a tab on the edge of the page for easy reference.
-
- Daily Pages (5 Years Each)
- The basic format of the 5-Year Techo has the same date across five years listed on the left side, and a blank graph paper memo page on the right. The layout is flexible enough to allow users to either fill in their pages the same way every day or mix things up as they go.
-

Features that make it easy to use
Every Hobonichi Techo is thoughtfully designed with features throughout that make it both easy to use and enjoyable to use every day.
-
- Tomoe River paper with a smooth writing experience
- The techo book uses Tomoe River paper, a thin, light, and durable paper specially designed for planners. It’s characterized by its ability to hold ink well and provide a smooth writing experience.
-
- Sturdy bookbinding that keeps pages secure
- Another key feature is its durability. It's designed to withstand a full year of use, not only with repeated opening and closing but also with the extra bulk from papers, ticket stubs, and other items you paste into it.
-
- Stress-free by opening flat 180 degrees
- The book opens flat without the need for you to hold down the pages to keep the book open. This is achieved with thread-stitch binding, a bookbinding method that involves sewing and binding the book with thread.
-
- A very flexible design that’s easy on the eyes
- The color tones and thickness of the lines are specially designed to be easy on the eyes and not get in the way of your writing.
-
- Rounded corners
- The page corners are rounded to minimize creasing and damage to the edges when carried around or stored in a bag.
