*Hobonichi Techo - A5 Cousin Cover - Akiko Miyakoshi: An Airport at Night
We collaborated with picture book author Akiko Miyakoshi to create this techo cover.

Warm yellow lights glow against a quiet, black background. Titled “An Airport at Night,” this piece captures the scenery Miyakoshi saw at an airport during her own travels, along with the feelings she experienced in that very moment.
*Hobonichi Techo - A5 Cousin Cover - Alettone (Gray)
This smart cover features a clear pocket as its star element and is made of soft, lightweight PVC. Its name, “Alettone”—which refers to the part of an aircraft’s wings called an aileron—was inspired by the way the flap of the cover folds neatly over, much like an aileron folds during flight. While the design has a refined and understated color palette that gives it a sense of elegance, the soft PVC material keeps it light and comfortable to carry. The cover opens and closes with a snap button, and its versatile, minimalist style suits any user or setting.
*Hobonichi Techo - A5 Cousin Cover - Alettone: Sweets
Featuring a clear pocket as its star element, this smart cover is made of soft, lightweight PVC. Its name, “Alettone,” which refers to the part of an aircraft’s wings called an aileron, was inspired by the way the flap of the cover folds over neatly, much like how an aileron folds during flight.

The design is filled with colorful, delightful sweets — melon cream soda, donuts, cupcakes, and more. Thanks to the soft PVC material, it’s light and comfortable to hold. The cover opens and closes with a snap fastener.
*Hobonichi Techo - A5 Cousin Cover - Beautiful People: Nothing to Hide
This is a techo cover created in collaboration with the fashion brand beautiful people.

The theme is “nothing to hide.” The design captures beauty and individuality in their natural state, with the techo intentionally visible through the cover.

The cover is made from PVC material with a crocodile pattern embossed onto the surface. Combining the transparency of PVC with the natural texture of leather embossing, it captures a playful tension between contrasting elements that’s unique to the beautiful people brand.

*Hobonichi Techo - A5 Cousin Cover - Folio: Ocean Blue
We have created a techo cover named “Folio,” meaning “folded in two.” It’s a cloth book cover style that slips right onto the Hobonichi Techo book: simply slide the front and back covers of the book into the sleeves, and you’re set. Thin, light, and easy to hold, it’s a design that pursues pure simplicity.

The cover is made from a thick, firm cotton fabric treated with a polyurethane coating. The result is smooth to the touch yet impressively durable.
*Hobonichi Techo - A5 Cousin Cover - Glow: Chianti
Introducing Glow, a leather techo cover that grows more beautiful with use — developing a shine and patina that reflect the steps you’ve taken along the way.

The leather is “Toscano Liscio,” a smooth leather from Conceria 800 (Ottocento), a tannery in Tuscany, Italy. Made using the traditional Bagnetto method, in which 100% vegetable tannins are carefully worked into every single fiber, the surface is fine-grained and wonderfully pleasant to the touch.
*Hobonichi Techo - A5 Cousin Cover - Kyohei Sakaguchi: Field Sky
He doesn’t construct buildings, yet he’s an architect. He writes, sings, photographs, and paints. Kyohei Sakaguchi has continued creating in all these forms — effortlessly, like breathing. This Hobonichi Techo cover features one of his pastel paintings.

Living in Kumamoto Prefecture, Sakaguchi began growing vegetables on a plot he rented in a community garden in 2020. On his way to the garden and while tending his plot, he captures the scenery with his smartphone. He uses these photos as references for his pastel artwork.

Birds and butterflies are nestled alongside flowers in this design named “felice,” which depicts living beings sharing joy with one another, as if each creature’s existence is a celebration of life itself.

Moomin was created in 1945 by Tove Jansson, Finland’s beloved author, painter, and artist. This year, the world of those stories has once again been brought to life as a Hobonichi Techo cover.

This cover’s design features scenes from the novel Moominpappa at Sea, in which the Moomin family goes to live on an island. Seeking solace in their new life there, Moominmamma paints a garden on the wall of the lighthouse, where she is depicted asleep, embroidered in bright purple thread on a pink-gray cotton fabric. Above the illustration, you’ll find a quote from Moominmamma stitched in deep pink thread: “Well, it'll be another nice long day tomorrow.” The embroidery on the back depicts the Moomin family gathered together on the island they have made their home.

Hobonichi Techo - A5 Cousin Cover - Leather: Sage Green

A butterfly-stopper style cover in a light green leather reminiscent of sage leaves. From its supple feel to the finely textured grain, this cover lets you fully experience the refined allure of premium Italian leather.

Crafted from high-quality Spanish hide and tanned in the north of Italy by the company Poletto, this is a leather called Nautilus. Taking on the challenge of combining tradition with modern techniques worthy of a contemporary product, Poletto has created this leather which has a unique elasticity and texture.

This is a sleek leather cover that fits snugly around your techo. There is no butterfly-stopper pen holder, and even the pockets have been kept to a minimum to keep the bulk down and make this cover the most compact way to hold your techo.

The leather used is called Seta Double, tanned by the North Italian company Poletto. The European hide was chrome-tanned to give this slightly matte yet clear leather. The name Seta comes from the Italian word for silk, and speaks for the silky smooth touch and natural finish of this leather.
