HOBONICHI TECHO 2024 Planner [CHN] Simplified A6

We now have an Simplified Chinese version of the A6 size Hobonichi Techo Original book with a one page per day format.

This original form of the Hobonichi Techo has been loved by many users since its introduction in 2002, and the 2024 edition marks the techo’s 23rd year. This techo has its elements written in Chinese. Its daily pages offer plenty of space to fill despite the book’s compact A6 size. The graph paper offers an open layout for you to neatly lay out writings, clippings, and drawings.

After years of testing, the graph paper has been set to 3.7 mm for optimal writing comfort. The graph paper design allows users to write from any starting point on the page, and the lines have been printed in light colors so users can either customize it to their own layout or ignore it completely. Like with the Japanese version, each month is printed in a different color.

The book has the same thread-stitch binding as a dictionary, allowing it to lay flat open for comfortable writing. It stays flat even if you don’t hold it down.

The book uses thin and light yet durable Tomoe River S paper. The paper has supported the Hobonichi Techo for over 20 years with its special characteristics, but it’ll be undergoing an overhaul starting with the 2024 edition techos. The paper is more resistant to bleed through, lighter despite being the same thickness, and has a smoother surface by adjusting the fibers of the paper.
