Hobonichi 2024 A5 Planner Cover [Keiko Shibata Gentle breeze in a dandelion field]

*This product is shipping from Tuesday 6th February 2024. Any orders which contain this product will ship at the same and not before this date.

Keiko Shibata’s unique artwork has now become Hobonichi Techo covers. “Gentle breeze in a dandelion field” is one of the works drawn in 2022 on the theme of “wind.”

The fluff is carried far away at night on the breeze that blows softly in the dandelion field. The bear and the cat are gazing enraptured at this beautiful scene.



The artwork is printed on a textured polyester fabric to bring out the warm touch of the oil pastel drawing. Each fluffy fluff is depicted all over onto the back of the cover. You will also notice the bear and the cat’s gaping open-mouth expressions.



The dandelion fluff fluttering in the night sky expands over the cover and the “butterfly-stopper” pen holders.



The card pockets in the inner cover also have the dandelion fluff in the night sky printed on them. The two bookmarks are white and light green, with charms reminiscent of dandelion flowers and fluff.



On the left side pocket, you will find Keiko Shibata’s autograph printed.



We also have an A5 size “Hobonichi Pencil Board” printed with Keiko Shibata’s “Swaying tulips” artwork.

Changes in 2024

The A5 planner cover is no longer sold as a set to include the planner. From 2024, you will now have the option of buying a planner to fit your cover of choice, separately. The A5 cover fits the Cousin book. Please see our range of Hobonichi planners, here. 

Specifics of the A5 Cover

1. Butterfly-stopper
   This is the name for the pen holders that are on either side of the cover. By closing the techo cover and putting a pen through both pen holders, it acts as a hinge and holds the cover shut, preventing the pages from crumpling.
   
   
   

2. Various pockets
   The Hobonichi Techo cover comes with lots of pockets both on the inside and outside. There are various shapes and sizes, from those in which you can store small cards to those that can fit larger postcards.
   
   
   
   
   
3. Two bookmarks
   The covers come with two bookmarks with triangular and rectangular charms on the ends (the shape of the charms may differ depending on the cover). It’s useful to use each bookmark to mark different pages, for example using one for the monthly calendar and one for the daily pages.
