COMING SEPTEMBER
This HON features original artwork by Hiroko Kubota, an illustrator who has painted a gentle, breezy meadow unfolding across the cover.
Against a slowly shifting sunset, a cat is seen with its eyes closed, listening intently to a tin-can telephone. At the other end of the string, a wolf speaks with a warm, tender expression.
As if to represent the voices passing between them, a mouse rides a unicycle back and forth along the string. What might they be saying to each other? Beyond the evening scene, the horizon stretches endlessly into the distance. A Ferris wheel turns slowly in the far background, and a white crescent moon is suspended in the sky. It’s a moment captured as the moon grows fuller — one you wish would never end, with a voice at the other end of the line that feels somehow familiar.
The year 2027 and the HON logo on the front and spine are finished with a matte silver foil, catching the light with a gentle shimmer against the wide, open gradient of the sky.
Like the Hobonichi Techo, the HON features thread-stitched binding, so it opens flat at 180 degrees and stays that way — no need to hold the pages down.
The pages are made of thin and light yet durable Tomoe River paper that holds ink well, providing a smooth writing experience.
The back of the techo contains bonus pages.
The English edition features standard favorites like My 100, Favorites, and the 365 Days Check-Off Sheet, alongside new additions like Phrases to Break That Writer’s Block, Hard-to-Translate Japanese Words, and the Hobonichi’s Neighborhood: Kanda/Jinbo-cho Map.
