Hobonichi Techo Spring 2026 Japanese A5 Cousin Spring Book [A5 size/Daily/Apr start/Mon start]
Description
The Hobonichi Techo Cousin Spring Book is the quietly brilliant organiser for those who like their thoughts expansive and their paper excellent. This generous A5 planner runs from April 2026 to March 2027, offering a full page for (almost) every day—plenty of room for plans, reflections, sketches, tickets, photos, and the odd moment of existential clarity.
Designed to live happily on a desk rather than being carted about, the Cousin excels as a work log, childcare diary, household record, or all-in-one life archive. Its carefully refined 3.7 mm grid makes neat writing, diagrams, and drawings feel effortlessly orderly—no ruler-induced despair required.
Each daily page includes a thoughtfully selected Daily Word, drawn from Hobonichi’s Almost Daily website. It’s a small but charming ritual: part planner, part reading notebook, part gentle nudge to pause and think.
A much-loved feature of the Cousin is the vertical Weekly Diary, ideal for visualising schedules along a timeline—particularly satisfying if your week has meetings that insist on existing at precise times. Supporting pages include annual and monthly calendars, indexes, and several newly added bonus sections at the back, such as This Year’s Harvest List and 12 Switches for Concentration—because focus, like tea, benefits from gentle encouragement.
Thread-bound in the style of a dictionary, the book opens a full 180 degrees and stays flat without persuasion. The pages are made from thin yet resilient Tomoe River paper, celebrated for smooth writing feel and excellent ink performance—even for fountain pens that like to show off.
As with all Hobonichi planners, the Cousin is designed to be paired with a separate cover. Choose from a wide array of colours, fabrics, and designs to suit your aesthetic—or your mood that year.
