The Hobonichi Techo 2027 Day-Free Japanese Edition combines a monthly planner with a large section of undated graph-paper notebook pages, giving you the freedom to plan, write, journal, sketch, and take notes without being tied to a page for every day.

Unlike the standard Hobonichi Original or Cousin, the Day-Free does not contain dated daily pages. Instead, it includes monthly calendars followed by 171 numbered graph-paper pages that can be used whenever and however you like.

The notebook pages feature Hobonichi's 3.7 mm graph grid, along with selected Japanese quotes at the bottom of the pages. The planner uses thin and smooth Tomoe River paper designed for planners and opens flat for comfortable writing.

Available in two sizes: the compact A6 and the larger A5.

Important Notes

The Day-Free is different from the standard Hobonichi Original and Cousin planners.

It does not contain one dated page for every day. Instead, it combines monthly calendars with 171 undated notebook pages, allowing you to decide how much space to use each day.

Tomoe River paper is very thin and smooth. Depending on the type and amount of ink used, some pens and inks may take longer to dry or may show through the paper.

Testing unfamiliar pens or inks before regular use is recommended. A pencil board or blotting paper may also be useful.

Product dimensions and weight are approximate and may vary slightly.
