Hobonichi 2025 A6 Planner Cover [Keiko Shibata: Bus management by Mr. and Mrs. Inoue]

£31.45 £37.00

We’ve turned this unique piece of art by Keiko Shibata into a Hobonichi Techo cover. “Bus management by Mr. and Mrs. Inoue” was originally drawn for Shibata’s personal art gallery held in 2017.

This piece depicts an affectionate married couple riding in the driver’s and passenger’s seats of a bright red bus. We can only imagine where the bus is headed as it drives through an open field.



The design is printed onto a textured polyester material to ensure the cover retains the warm, artistic touch of the original oil pastel piece. Mr. and Mrs. Inoue also have sweet little smiles on their faces. Because it is drawn by hand, the red of the bus, the green of the field, and the white of the sky are in different shades of colors, makes the illustration tasteful and never boring.



The bright red piping around the edges of the cover serves as a decorative frame for Shibata’s art. If you keep this cover on your desk, it’ll catch your eye and bring you some cheer.



The cover interior is a gentle shade of ivory. The two bookmarks have black, round charms, reminiscent of the tires of the bus.



The left hand pocket is printed with Keiko Shibata’s signature.



You can also purchase a Hobonichi Pencil Board for the A6 size techo. It’s printed with Keiko Shibata’s art piece “Upwind alpacas.”



There are many more items in our collaboration with Keiko Shibata in the Hobonichi Techo 2025 lineup! This includes the techo covers “Bus management by Mr. and Mrs. Inoue” in A6 size and “Emotional Reunion with Kariya-san” in A5 size. There’s also a Weeks book called “Thanks for your hard work, Aoki-san.” The design “Dog Ears Fluttering in the Wind” is available on a Cover on Cover, which fits over a Hobonichi Techo A6 or A5 cover, and the Clear Cover, which fits over a Weeks book. The Hobonichi Paper(s) notebook has a cover with the design “Ueda-san’s summer of hugs.” Also available with prints by Keiko Shibata are the Hobonichi Pencil Board and a graph paper notebook, which continue from last year’s lineup. These all help expand the unique and charming world of Keiko Shibata!
