This is a collaboration techo with the SUPER Famicom™ game “MOTHER 2: Gyiyg Strikes Back!” (EarthBound in North America, released by Nintendo Co., Ltd. in 1994), for which Shigesato Itoi was the game designer.
The design features Dungeon Man, one of the most memorable characters in the game. A man named Brick Road devoted his life to building dungeons, and ultimately achieved his dream of becoming the first man in history to transform into a living dungeon.

Welcome.
You are inside of my body.
...Brick Road
The cover is made with a khaki colored cotton material and is covered front-to-back with various billboards, items, and enemies discovered throughout the four-story giant. The pixel art is not only printed on the cover, but some are even embroidered to give them a textured feel. Images include that of Dungeon Man, his original form Brick Road, the submarine, the sign from the Brick Road Maze, billboards with silly messages, and gift boxes.
When you open the cover, the inner pocket is embroidered with Brick Road’s face, just like you see it stuck in the inner wall of Dungeon Man.
Dungeon Man is one of the most tenacious characters Ness and friends meet in the game. We hope you pour your own wishes into this techo and make your dreams come true, too.

Now wait a minute, youngster!
This cover comes with a free bonus, the “Hint Man Grid Notebook.” There are glossy-print images on each side of the cover, with the Hint Man on the front and Ness visiting the hint stand on the back.
The compact notebook is 8cm (~3") tall, and the grid size is the same 3.7mm as the standard techo. There are 48 pages, so you can write down hints on life you want to remember or information you want to share with others. Then,
◆for sure, without fail, certainly, something wonderful will happen.

If you’ve used any of these products, we welcome your notes on what you like about them or what led you to buy them so we can share it with customers who are currently considering these products. We’d also love to welcome comments from customers who purchased their techo outside the Hobonichi Store or received their book as a gift.
We’ve compiled a list of warnings, potential issues, and tips to keep in mind for this particular product. Additionally, the color of the product may be slightly different in actuality than compared to how it appeared on a computer or smartphone screen.
Due to the structure of the cover that opens flat 180 degrees, exterior stitching areas may appear puckered and lining material may be loose.
The pen holder is designed to fit the 12.2 mm (0.48") diameter Jetstream pen offered as a free Hobonichi Store Exclusive Bonus. Pens with certain shapes and materials may be difficult to pull through the holder. The holder can fit pens up to 13.5 mm (0.53") in diameter.
The cover's color and print pattern are created by dyeing or printing onto white fabric. While we take care to ensure consistency during production, slight variations in color or pattern may occur between individual items. This may also happen across a single cover, such as a pocket compared to the rest of the cover. Minor print blurring or uneven coloring may also be present. In addition, on rare occasions, there may be small black or white dots visible on the print. This is an unavoidable aspect of the manufacturing process.
