Hobonichi Techo - Small Drawer Pouch - (Hiroko Kubota: Aurora Duty)

This pouch is like carrying an entire drawer with you wherever you go. Keep it on hand to easily access stationery whenever you need it, or use it on your desk to safely store your important items.

The Drawer Pouch is like a Hobonichi Techo cover as it can store many items despite its compact size.

Illustrator Hiroko Kubota created this art piece called “Aurora Duty.” It was featured on the Hobonichi Techo 2023 English Weeks book cover, and now it’s available on a Drawer Pouch. 

The artwork depicts a quiet night in a distant northern country, with a polar bear waving an enormous flag. It appears that it’s the bear’s turn tonight to draw an aurora across the sky, for Aurora Duty. The back of the pouch shows one more bear pulling along a warm drink on a sled. The beautiful aurora sparkling across the night sky uses glitter for effect.

The Small Drawer Pouch is the size of a long wallet and fits writing utensils, cards, charging cables, and other slim items. The pouch can lay open completely flat when it’s unzipped, making it easy to glance inside and grab what you need.
(The pouch cannot store a Hobonichi Techo Weeks book.)

Inside the pouch on the left are three pockets that can hold cards, rulers, scissors, and other flat objects. The pocket width can fit point cards and business cards.

On the right side of the interior is an expandable mesh pocket that can hold items with more shape, such as pens, washi tape, charging cables, and more. Inside this pocket is a band that can hold a pens.

On the outside of the pouch is a large pocket you can use to store pencils, tickets, or other items you want to have ready to grab.

The pouch can hold many items, but its slim size and compact shape make it easy to fit into a purse or bag.

This pouch is the perfect place to securely store all your important items. You won’t have to spend time digging around your desk or the bottom of your bag when your checkbook, receipts, cards, or anything else you need is stored inside this cute little comrade.
