Hobonichi Techo - Japan's favourite calendar - was created in 2001 by Shigesato Itoi. Throughout its 23 years of existence, the Hobonichi brand has been constantly changing to respond to the needs of its users, which has earned it the appreciation of millions of users around the world.
The Hobonichi Day-free calendar in A5 size includes:
-an annual calendar for 2024, 2025 i 2026
-a monthly index and a monthly calendar covering 16 months from December 2025 to March 2026,
-171 pages printed in a 3.7-millimeter grid.
Starting in 2024, Hobonichi calendars are produced using the new Tomoe River S paper.
In 2023, the machines producing the world's thinnest paper were shut down and production was taken over by Sanzen Paper Manufacturing, which has been producing paper since 1948. This company set itself the goal of replicating the iconic Tomoe River paper as perfectly as possible, but it is impossible for the new machines to produce an identical product. The new Tomoe River S paper has retained all the features that made Tomoe River paper unique, but is enhanced with additional properties.
Tomoe River S paper is:
more resistant to translucency,
lighter, while maintaining the same thickness, smoother.
Because the paper used for Hobonichi is so thin, the calendar itself remains small in size and weight, despite the large number of pages.
Among the details that make this one of the best-designed calendars in the world is that the way it is sewn allows it to be opened flat at any time, without the need to hold it down. And the rounded corners minimise the risk of bending the pages when carried loosely in a bag or backpack.
Each Hobonichi Techo calendar has its own serial number, giving each notebook an individual touch.
