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.

The back of the cover makes use of the pixel art featured in the town of Twoson, where Ness first gets the bicycle.

When you open the cover, there are two slit-type pockets where you can store business cards and other cards. The right-hand pocket is etched with a large MOTHER 2 logo for a nice accent. 

The cloth part of the cover is printed with a map of Twoson. You can see the house of Paula — the first one to join your party — and the theater where you can see the Runaway Five, as well as Burglin Park where all kinds of things are on sale. You can see Ness riding a bicycle next to the “Punk-Sure” shop that offers bicycle rentals.

The right side of the cover includes a pen hook, which can hold a pen by its clip. The bookmark ribbons are yellow and blue to match Ness’ striped shirt.

This cover comes with a Kraken Zip-up Bag based on one of the iconic boss characters in MOTHER 2. Now you can have this monster of the sea, feared by all sailors, swallow up the items you use frequently.
