Since it's the same size as the Hobonichi Techo Original, you can use the same covers for both.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt's roughly half as thick as the Original, making it even easier to carry around with you.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe notebook pages are printed with a 3.7 mm grid. Each page is formatted in the Day-Free style and includes a page number, with 171 pages in total. You can write as much or as little as you want, whenever you want, without being tied to specific dates. Write a journal entry, draw pictures or diagrams, paste in tickets, doodle — enjoy using it any way you like.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt the bottom of each grid-lined page you'll also find one carefully selected quote from the Hobonichi website.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe monthly calendar is the same one included in the Hobonichi Techo Original — a calendar with a faint grid printed across the full page, making it easy to jot down plans and notes. It covers December 2026 through March 2028, so although there's no April-start edition of the Day-Free, you can use it all the way through March of the following year.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThanks to the thread-stitched binding, the techo opens flat at 180 degrees and stays that way — no need to hold the pages down.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe pages are made of thin and light yet durable Tomoe River paper that holds ink well, providing a smooth writing experience.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe back of the techo contains bonus pages, including standard favourites such as Favorites, My 100 and Solar Terms, as well as new additions like Phrases to Break That Writer's Block, Useful Sign Language Phrases to Know, and Hobonichi's Neighborhood: Kanda\/Jinbo-cho Map, among others.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe also offer a dedicated techo cover, the BS Lite, designed to fit the A6-size Day-Free perfectly, available in Black and Blue.
