[English] Hobonichi Techo 2027 A6 – Original / Planner Arts&Science

The Hobonichi Techo 2027 English A6 is a compact daily planner designed for users who want the classic Hobonichi experience in English.

Both versions use the portable A6 format, open flat for comfortable writing, and feature Hobonichi’s lightweight Tomoe River paper. They can be used for schedules, journaling, study notes, memory keeping, travel records, drawings and everyday planning.

Available variants:

• Variant 1 – Original English Version
• Variant 2 – Planner / Arts&Science English Version

Although both are English-language A6 planners, they differ in layout, visual style and bonus content.

The Hobonichi Techo 2027 Original English Version brings the classic Original daily planner format to international users in English.

It provides approximately one page per day and can be used freely for writing, planning, drawing and keeping personal records.

The 2027 edition begins in January and uses a Monday-start calendar.

Daily Words

Short selected texts appear at the bottom of the daily pages.

Variant 2: Planner / Arts&Science English Version

The Hobonichi Techo Planner is an English-language A6 planner created under the direction of Sonya Park, owner of select shop and brand Arts&Science.

Its layout has been refined and simplified with the goal of making the planner easy to use across different countries and languages.

The Planner is distinguished by its understated visual design, charcoal gray and red color scheme, dedicated bonus pages and Arts&Science details.

Planner / Arts&Science Design

The book has a matte exterior with subtle foil detailing.

The cover is foil-pressed with:

• Japanese characters for “techo”
• Arts&Science key logo

The spine features gold foil with:

• 2027
• HOBO logo

This makes the planner easy to identify when stored on a shelf alongside previous editions.

Flat-Opening Thread-Stitched Binding

Like a dictionary, the Planner uses a thread-stitched binding.

This allows the book to open approximately 180 degrees, so users can write comfortably without needing to hold the pages down.

Tomoe River Paper

Both variants use thin and lightweight Tomoe River paper designed for planners.

The paper provides a smooth writing surface while allowing a large amount of content to fit into the compact A6 format.

Performance may vary depending on the writing instrument, ink quantity and writing conditions, so testing unfamiliar pens is recommended.

Planner-Exclusive Bonus Pages

The Planner includes useful reference and lifestyle pages at the back of the book.

Examples include:

• International Size Charts
• Ultimate Packing List
• My 100
• Japanese Sando – Sandwiches for Every Occasion
• Hard-to-Translate Japanese Words
• Hobonichi’s Neighborhood: Kanda / Jinbo-cho Map

These pages add practical and cultural content beyond standard daily planning.

Designed to Use with a Cover

Both versions can be paired with dedicated Hobonichi Techo A6 covers, sold separately.

Hobonichi offers a wide range of cover designs, materials and collaborations, including Arts&Science options.

Original English vs. Planner

Best for users who want the classic Hobonichi Original structure presented in English.

Both versions retain the flexible Hobonichi philosophy of allowing users to transform the planner into their own personal record of the year.

Important Note

The Original English Version and Planner / Arts&Science are separate products. Please select the desired variant before ordering.

This listing is for the planner book only. Hobonichi covers and accessories are sold separately unless explicitly stated otherwise.

Because Tomoe River paper is very thin, ink drying time, show-through or bleed-through may vary depending on the writing instrument and amount of ink used.
