Hobonichi Techo HON A6 2026 – Paper Series: Black Gingham (English, January Start Planner)

• HOBONICHI TECHO HON (Hardcover / English Edition, A6 Size) - This hardcover planner features the same contents as the Hobonichi Techo Original, now in a durable book-style format—“HON” means “book” in Japanese. Designed to feel like carrying your favorite novel, this edition is fully in English. First introduced in 2002, Hobonichi Techo has earned global love, and the HON is its newest format, released in 2024.
• 180° LAY-FLAT BINDING & LIGHT GRID DESIGN - The thread-stitch binding allows the book to open fully flat, making it easy to write across the page. The light-colored 3.7 mm graph paper supports writing from any point—easy to customize or ignore. Each month is printed in a different color for better organization, and daily quotes add a subtle touch of inspiration.
• PLAID PATTERN COVER MADE OF UNIQUE PAPER - The Paper Series uses unique paper by specialized paper trading company Takeo. This book may seem like an ordinary black planner, but when you look closely, you will find the entire surface covered with a plaid pattern. The book is made of Takeo’s “Gingham GA,” a paper embossed with plaids reminiscent of gingham. You can see the gingham pattern from different angles of light. The year 2026 shines gently, foil-pressed in silver.

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.
