Hobonichi 2025 A6 Planner Cover [Keiko Shibata: Bread floating in the wind]

Keiko Shibata’s unique artwork has now become Hobonichi Techo covers. “Bread floating in the wind” is one of the works drawn in 2022 on the theme of “wind.”

Black, yellow, and red cats ride on the bread, flying through the air. The cats move forward with the wind blowing directly before them, making their legs and tails perky. Where are they traveling to?

The colour of the sky, painted in light blue with white and yellow, spreads over the entire surface of the cover as well as the “butterfly-stopper” pen holders.

The card pockets on the inner cover are also printed in the beautiful color of the sky. The two bookmarks are in ivory and brown, inspired by the color of the bread. The soft synthetic leather is finished to a suede touch, and we kept the design simple, with no charms on it.

On the left side pocket, you will find Keiko Shibata’s autograph printed.

Also available in the Shibata collection is the A5 Cover, the Weeks planner, the Pencil board and the books.

Changes

The A6 planner cover is no longer sold as a set to include the planne and you will now have the option of buying a planner to fit your cover of choice, separately. The A6 cover fits the 'planner' and the 'orginal'. Please see our range of Hobonichi planners, here. 

Specifics of the A6 Cover

1. Butterfly-stopper
   This is the name for the pen holders that are on either side of the cover. By closing the techo cover and putting a pen through both pen holders, it acts as a hinge and holds the cover shut, preventing the pages from crumpling.
   
   
   
   

2. Various pockets
   The Hobonichi Techo cover comes with lots of pockets both on the inside and outside. There are various shapes and sizes, from those in which you can store small cards to those that can fit larger postcards.
   
   
   
   
   
3. Two bookmarks
   The covers come with two bookmarks with triangular and rectangular charms on the ends (the shape of the charms may differ depending on the cover). It’s useful to use each bookmark to mark different pages, for example using one for the monthly calendar and one for the daily pages.
