New as of November 1st, 2023 is the English Edition of the Hobonichi Original. Keeping the colorful format of the beloved Original layout, the English Edition simply swaps out the original Japanese date notation for English ones. The quotes at the bottom of the page has been swapped for English as well.

This original form of the Hobonichi Techo has been loved by many users since its introduction in 2002. Its daily pages offer plenty of space to fill despite the books 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, and the lines have been printed in light colors so users can either customize it to their own layout or ignore it completely.

The book contains several sections that are great for schedule management, such as a yearly calendar, monthly calendar, and yearly index page.

The back of the book includes useful and informational pages, such as blank memo pages, an address book, a page for drawing out a custom graph, a 100-item list, and more.

Note: For the 2026 lineup, A6, A5, and 5-Year Covers will only be available as part of a set with their corresponding planner books. Covers will not be sold separately.
