Hobonichi Pencil Boards
A Hobonichi essential, the pencil board (or shitajiki) slips neatly behind the page you’re writing on, giving you a perfectly smooth surface every time. It prevents ink from pressing through, keeps your writing steady, and often comes decorated with delightful seasonal or collaborative designs.
Available in A6, A5, and Weeks sizes, each board is tailored to fit its planner exactly. Some even include handy extras like a ruler edge or a tab that sticks out just enough to mark your page.
Whether you’re a neat note-taker or an enthusiastic doodler, a pencil board makes every page feel its best.
