Hobonichi - Cousin A5
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
TS stands for the initials of Taku Satoh. Out of all the various Hobonichi Techo covers, this has been a staple in our lineup and has been a popular choice for over ten years.
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. The textile is captivating in its sense of depth, with the folksy touch of woodblock printing and the interplay of light and shadow created by the embroidery.
“glass flower” is a textile that expresses a luminous layering of colors reminiscent of glass painting. We chose it so that you can carry your techo with the same kind of joy you’d feel walking around with a bouquet of flowers.
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.
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.

Embroidered on black fabric, the Going Merry is seen head-on, traversing the seas with her sails unfurled. The Jolly Roger waves from the top of the mast, and on the deck are the ship’s spirit Klabautermann and a tangerine tree.
The message on this cover reminds us that being alone doesn’t have to mean being lonely.
It comes with an elastic band, and the lightweight faux leather material is great for casual use. By eliminating the pockets and “butterfly-stopper” pen holders found on our standard covers, we’ve created a design that’s as compact and easy to carry as possible.

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.

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.
A techo can feel like a letter to yourself. We created this cover with the hope that you’ll enjoy quiet moments of reflection—like writing a letter to your own heart. Even the action of winding and unwinding the string to open and close the cover is meant to be savored, as part of a mindful, personal ritual.
Using plenty of water to mix in with the paint and a flat brush, a collection of arcs that blend together is created for the aalto. This textile was made with transparent watercolor which overlaps in layers, making them look like waves that continue into the distance, and to the far reaches of an endless sea.
This item is a reimagining of the popular 2014 Hobonichi Techo cover skyful. This time, the color scheme was specifically created for the Hobonichi Techo cover, which depicts a sky full of stars made from colorful, brightly embroidered dots.

It’s also frequently used as a planner that is always kept on a desktop or table rather than carrying around.
