Hobonichi 5-Year Techo A5 and A6 [2024-2028]

What is the 5 Year Techo?

The 5-Year Techo features a page design that makes it easy to keep up with for all five years. Each daily page lines up the same date across five years for users to write each entry side by side, making the book more exciting as each year passes. The book includes all the benefits and features of the standard Hobonichi Techo, such as the grid paper layout on the Tomoe River paper, lay-flat binding for easy writing, and daily quotes. The book cover is made of slightly textured PVC and is reminiscent of some softcover dictionaries and bibles. The book comes in two sizes: the A6* Hobonichi 5-Year Techo and the A5* Large Hobonichi 5-Year Techo. The larger version works great as a shared diary among family members or a team notebook shared among several people at work. *The cover of the book is a few millimetres larger than the paper size.

Each page contains the same 3.7 mm graph paper as the Original and the Cousin. The paper is a subtle cream colour. The basic format of the 5-Year Techo has the same date across five years listed on the left side, and a blank graph paper memo page on the right. The layout is flexible enough to allow users to either fill in their pages the same way every day or mix things up as they go.



The start of the book contains a yearly calendar across the 5-year span.

This year, the Hobonichi 5-Year Techo (2024-2028) will be delivered in a turquoise blue paper box. The box is sturdy and works well for storing your techo. 

 

The box will contain a user manual and a test sheet of paper for you to get a feel for the paper and test pen or ink compatibility. 

The textured cover is a calming shade of brown with the years foil-pressed in gold on the spine. The book contains a dark brown bookmark for a complete look that works well without adding an additional cover. *The 5-Year Techo has its own specially designed covers and is not compatible with standard single-year Hobonichi Techo covers.



The Japanese daily quotes on the bottom of the page are excerpts from Hobo Nikkan Itoi Shinbun articles from the past years. We renewed the daily quotes from the 2023 edition, five years after its first release.



Specifics of the 5 Year Techo

  1. Layout
    Each page contains the same, easy-to-use 3.7 mm graph paper as the A6 Hobonichi Techo Original, making it perfect for writing or drawing. The paper is a subtle cream colour that’s easy on the eyes, and the printing is charcoal grey to allow handwriting to stand out from the page. On each spread, the left page has the date and day of the week for all 5 years, with days of the week written in Japanese. Because each page contains a total of 5 days, a single day’s entry is compact enough to either fill with writing or write a single sentence and feel satisfied with the entry. It’s a perfect setup for those who are worried about being able to continue using a book for 5 years (holidays are not listed in the book).

  2. Blank pages on the right
    The right page is a blank page for anything you’d like — continuing entries you couldn’t fit on the left, jotting notes you’d like to leave for other years, pasting items, and more.  

  3. Stitching
    The book has the same thread-stitch binding as a dictionary, allowing it to lay flat open for comfortable writing. The Tomoe River paper provides an especially smooth writing experience, with thin, light paper that allows the book to have 752 pages while staying compact.

  4. Size
    This book is available in a compact A6 size or, for the first time, a roomy A5 size. The A6 and A5 sizes refer to the paper size, as the attached cover is a few millimetres larger than the paper. The 5-Year Techo still manages to remain relatively slim for its 752 pages at just 2.5cm thick.

    A6 size: cover size: 113 x 153 mm with 752 pages: width: 25 mm (1.0")
    A5 size: cover size: 156 x 214 mm with 752 pages.
