Description
Out of the Hobonichi original accessories, the Hobonichi Pencil Board is one of the most popular items. Keeping it underneath the page you’re writing on allows the reinforcement to provide an enjoyable writing experience. They fit perfectly to the size of the techo book, and will prevent your pen from sliding on the page, and not leave indentations on the opposite page, making for a comfortable writing experience.
The pencil boards, which feature illustrations by Yumi Kitagishi and resemble scenes from picture books, come in three sizes: A6 size, A5 size, and Weeks.
The A6 size features two cats in a colourful and joyful room full of their favourites, including the interior, clothes, and stuffed animals. The back side has a blue background with a small window.
The A5 size depicts animals spending their time in the garden. You can see that there is a lot of cake on the table, and everyone looks so happy. The back side has a background in gentle pink.
The title for the Weeks size is “Animal Condo.” It portrays a red-roofed apartment building where unique animals live. The back side is bright yellow-green with the same building as the front side.
Each design is like a fairy tale scene that makes you imagine what the story would be like.
One side is labeled by millimetre to act as a metric ruler, and a “Today” tab on the corner marks the current page if you’d like to use it as a bookmark as well.
They’re great for using together with techo covers and Weeks featuring Yumi Kitagishi’s illustrations.
Try the Hobonichi Pencil Board for yourself and you’ll see how great it is to use.
