minä perhonen creates timeless, all-original garment textiles that are specially dyed, embroidered, and woven to recreate hand-drawn designs. 

We created a techo cover using two textiles: “jellybeans,” which once appeared in the Hobonichi Techo lineup, and “tambourine,” which has been popular among many. The playful design features two shapes of “circles” that happily overlap: the fluffy, sweet-looking watercolor drops and embroidered dotted circles.
Hobonichi Techo - A6 Original Planner Cover - mina perhonen: pomppia (Light Blue)
minä perhonen creates timeless, all-original garment textiles that are specially dyed, embroidered, and woven to recreate hand-drawn designs. 

As a word meaning “bounce” in Finnish, “pomppia” features rabbit faces drawn in different touches, expressed as one continuous pattern. It is adorable, showing the connection between living creatures and events in the world.
Hobonichi Techo - A6 Original Planner Cover - MOTHER: Ness’ Bike
This cover design is based on Shigesato Itoi's 1994 Super Nintendo game, MOTHER 2 (EarthBound in North America). It features Ness riding on a bicycle, debossed on the leather surface of this A6 size cover. 

The deep brown, genuine leather is stamped firmly enough to feel it with your fingertips. The leather is tanned with tannin, a vegetable-derived ingredient. The more you use the cover, the deeper the color becomes, and the more character it develops. You can enjoy this transformation of the leather over time.
Hobonichi Techo - A6 Original Planner Cover - Naoki Ishikawa: Denali in the Midnight Sun #1
This cover features a photograph of Denali, North America’s highest peak, as taken by Naoki Ishikawa. 

This photo, capturing the full extent of Mount Denali at 6190 meters above sea level, was taken from inside a Cessna heading towards base camp for the summit. The view of the mountain composed of deep blue and white looks like a watercolor painting at a glance. This photograph is processed with cyanotype, which is a photographic process that involves a chemical solution and exposure to UV light. The appeal in this design comes from the brush marks that let you see where the solution was applied.

Hobonichi Techo - A6 Original Planner Cover - Only is Not Lonely (Ivy Green)

The front cover includes the short message “Only is not lonely.” This phrase was coined as a slogan in 1998 when Hobo Nikkan Itoi Shinbun was founded. 
 
Hobonichi Techo - A6 Original Planner Cover - PAMM: Thanks Sea

Hobonichi Techo - A6 Original Planner Cover - Phoolon (Small Flowers)
We created a techo cover featuring “block printing,” a traditional Indian technique. The cover’s name is “phoolon,” meaning “flowers” in Hindi. 

The two fabrics applied to the front side are from “chahat,” a store that sells handcrafted materials from Nepal and India. Both patterns are created by Indian artisans by hand-pressing wooden blocks. The three-dimensional colors and blurring produced by the wooden blocks are unique to block printing and cannot be expressed by screen printing, which has become mainstream today. Please enjoy the individual differences of the misalignments and ink splashes as the character of each piece. You can cherish the warm texture of the handmade work and the endearing and refreshing blue color.

Hobonichi Techo - A6 Original Planner Cover - Taut Zipped (Cafe au Lait Plaid)
