This original form of the Hobonichi Techo has been loved by many users since its introduction in 2002, and the 2024 edition marks the techo’s 23rd year. Its daily pages offer plenty of space to fill despite the book’s compact A6 size. The graph paper offers an open layout for you to neatly lay out writings, clippings, and drawings.
After years of testing, the graph paper has been set to 3.7 mm for optimal writing comfort. The graph paper design allows users to write from any starting point on the page, and the lines have been printed in light colors so users can either customize it to their own layout or ignore it completely.
The Hobonichi Techo includes quotes specially chosen from its parent site, the Japanese web magazine Hobo Nikkan Itoi Shinbun. Each daily page has a quote in Japanese.The Original book comes either as Monday-start week (with the words on the front cover printed in gray) or Sunday-start week (printed in red).
