Hobonichi x MOTHER
For 2026, Hobonichi revisits one of its most beloved collaborations — MOTHER, Shigesato Itoi’s legendary video game series. This year’s line-up is rich with references and design flourishes drawn straight from the world of EarthBound.
From the cheerfully absurd Mr. Saturn covers (A6 and A5) to the nostalgic Weeks “The Secret of MOTHER 2” edition, each piece blends playful graphics with Hobonichi’s trademark functionality. The HON planners (A6 and A5) feature clay figurine artwork for a wonderfully tactile nod to the series, while Ness’ Bike offers a more understated A6 leather cover embossed with an iconic moment.
Whether you grew up battling Starmen or you’re simply a fan of bold, characterful design, the MOTHER collaboration is a reminder that planners can be practical, beautiful — and packed with personality.
