Hobonichi Fireside Chat Notebook B6 Lined

Quotes by Safety Match are often featured as daily quotes in Hobonichi techo. These quotes are like a proverb, a soliloquy, philosophical, poetic, allegorical… It’s rumored that these short phrases with a mysterious charm are from a book that only Shigesato Itoi has hidden away, but as a mystery since the first issue of “Hobo Nikkan Itoi Shinbun,” nothing more has been revealed about it. We wonder who it actually is?

This B6 size notebook incorporates motifs based on the words of Safety Match. The pages inside not only have different lines but have designs linked to the quote:

"You write. You draw.

As you move your hand, the lines start to run.

And with the lines, your mind runs free.

So, writing by hand is like sending your mind on a journey, see?"

Some of the ruled lines are rounded or uneven as if written by hand. This design will catch your eye as you write and will add to the enjoyment of writing. The lines are printed 7mm apart in blue, and the cover is a pale salmon pink. The B6 size perfectly fits the A5 Cousin size cover.

This notebook is made with Tomoe River paper. While it is only 3mm thick, it has 80 pages so you’ll be able to write plenty. It’s made with stitch binding and the color of the thread is chosen for each front cover and acts as an accent.
