Out with the old…
Out with the old, in this case my 2022 notebooks: The Monocle by Leuchtturm for work and the Hobonichi for non-work
…and in with the new.
Hobonichi
Hobonichi Techo 2023
New arrival from Japan: my wife’s day-free Techo and my One Piece Techo (I missed out on the One Piece pre-order, so so could only order it on 1st October). The parcel took less than two weeks to arrive.
His Majesty’s Revenue and Customs must be pretty busy. Since Brexit many parcels I receive are not getting checked, so for this year’s Techo I was not asked to pay any fees.

Spring is coming
Spring is coming – and it turns out there’s not only a special Spring version of the Hobonichi notebook (the Spring version starts in April), there are also special Spring Hobonichi covers [1]I saw two, but maybe there are more, officially only available now. Well, officially they are only available in Spring, but I guess in reality they are available until they are sold out.
Hobonichi seems to be going from strength to strength, expanding their line a bit more every year [2]…not sure whether the Spring edition is new, but it is certainly new to me..
Hobonichi 2021
The Hobonichi countdown has begun. If you missed the preview calendar so far it might be worth having a look from tomorrow, when the new lineup will be introduced.
You can find the preview calendar at https://www.1101.com/store/techo/en/magazine/2021/y21/
I believe that the use of the screenshot, taken from the Hobonichi website, falls under “fair dealing” as described by the UK Copyright service
New arrival
My Hobonichi order for 2020 has arrived.
It even comes with an official Nintendo Seal of Quality.
So far I nearly always went with the A6 avec version (2 x 6 months) [1]Two years ago, I tried the A5 version for a change). This year, for the first time, I went with the English year-long version. I was surprised to see that time-wise only 12 noon is marked. Compared to the Japanese version this might be an opportunity to use two lines per hour of the day, i.e. allow more space for day-time and less for night-time. I’m looking forward to trying the new layout next year, but I will start using the new leather cover this year. I wonder whether it will age as nicely as Gunther’s [2]His cover in its 2014 state can be seen here. The 2019 state can be seen here.
