Bow & TieSheep Sheep SheepHON / A6 Size / Daily / ENG or JPN edition / Jan start / Mon start

  • 2027 New
  • Japanese / English

The HON Bow & Tie series techos are wrapped in the same textured, shiny fabric used in neckties. The material has a beautiful gloss and is soft to the touch.



The Sheep Sheep Sheep design features a flock of adorable sheep arranged in even rows on a vibrant green cover. Their fluffy, rounded silhouettes are woven in rich detail with necktie fabric, giving each and every sheep its own personality.



Some sheep are sleeping soundly. Some are leaping over a fence with a little hop. Some are zipping along on skateboards. And if you look closely, you’ll even spot a sheep with a pompadour.



The sight of each sheep living life on the farm just as it pleases is sure to put a smile on your face every time you pick up your techo to use it. This design is also perfect for 2027, the Year of the Sheep in the Chinese zodiac, making it a great choice for anyone looking for a lucky charm.










Like the Hobonichi Techo, the HON features thread-stitched binding, so it opens flat at 180 degrees and stays that way — no need to hold the pages down.









The pages are made of thin and light yet durable Tomoe River paper that holds ink well, providing a smooth writing experience.





















The back of the techo contains bonus pages.

The English edition features standard favorites like My 100, Favorites, and the 365 Days Check-Off Sheet, alongside new additions like Phrases to Break That Writer’s Block, Hard-to-Translate Japanese Words, and the Hobonichi’s Neighborhood: Kanda/Jinbo-cho Map.

The Japanese edition includes standard favorites like My 100, Favorites, and Solar Terms, as well as new additions like Phrases to Break That Writer’s Block, Useful Sign Language Phrases to Know, and the Hobonichi’s Neighborhood: Kanda/Jinbo-cho Map.





We also offer a pencil board with a 5 mm grid, designed exclusively for the HON.

Note: Starting with the 2027 edition, the pencil board is sold separately.









In addition to the techos, the Sheep Sheep Sheep lineup also includes Drawer Pouches made from the same patterned fabric. See the full Bow & Tie: Sheep Sheep Sheep series here.



This design is perfect for anyone who wants to spend the year on their own terms — free-spirited and full of fun, just like these sheep living life to the fullest.



Note: A portion of the proceeds from this techo will be donated through Animal Donation, a public interest incorporated association, to organizations certified by the association for use in animal welfare activities.

About the paper used (techo)

The Tomoe River paper designed for planners is known for its thinness and smooth writing surface. However, depending on the type and amount of ink or pen used—as well as environmental conditions—some ink may bleed through or take longer to dry. We recommend testing your pens on an inconspicuous area first, or using a pencil board or blotting paper for best results.
