Hobonichi Techo 2025 Japanese Day-Free Book A6 Size

Hobonichi Techo 2025 Japanese Day-Free Book A6 Size

A6 size / Monthly / Jan start / Mon start

The Day-Free A6 Size is a monthly techo that is split into two main parts: monthly calendars and a graph-paper notebook. The book fits nicely into covers designed for the standard Hobonichi Techo Original book.

Because the book is half the size of the full-year Original, it’s also light and portable.



The monthly calendar is the same calendar you’ll find in the standard Original book, designed with graph paper to make it easy to use. The 2025 edition will contain entries for December 2024 through March 2026.



The blank graph paper notebook contains a total of 171 pages and is comprised of 3.7 mm squares. Each page is numbered.

You can fill in as much as you want at a time without feeling constricted to dates. Keep a journal, draw a picture or graph, paste in ticket stubs, scribble on the pages, and fill the pages with capricious whims or meticulous plans — it’s all up to you.



The Day-Free blank notebook section includes the Hobonichi Techo’s characteristic daily quotes in Japanese.



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 paper. This paper that underwent an overhaul with the 2024 edition techo is more resistant to bleed through, lighter despite being the same thickness, and has a smoother surface by adjusting the fibers of the paper.



Other than the monthly calendars and the notebook section, the book contains several sections that are great for schedule management, such as a yearly calendar and a yearly index page. The back of the book has bonus pages, including Sample Symbols and Icons, How to Have Fun Keeping a Diary, and Recommended Noodle List of 47 Prefectures.

We also have the Hobonichi Pencil Board fitted for the A6 Cousin size. Not only does it keep pens from slipping and makes writing more manageable, but it also serves as a bookmark for the page that you are writing. It’s a standard item that would excellently match your techo.
