Hobonichi Hon A5 2025 Liberty Fabrics: Paysanne Blossom

This Hobonichi HON A5 is made with a beautiful printed textile from the venerable British fabric brand Liberty Fabrics. Paysanne Blossom is a fruity botanical design with juicy strawberries studded amongst flowers drawn in delicate lines. The pink color of the pretty strawberries and the flowers in white and blue in different shapes and sizes give a sweet and refreshing impression.

The HON has two attached bookmarks, one navy and one beige, so you can mark your place in frequently used pages. The book spine is foil-pressed in silver with the year 2025 and the HON logo for easy reference when placed in your bookshelf alongside other books.

The contents are the same as the Hobonichi Techo Cousin book. The HON A5 size includes weekly pages which track a week in each two-page spread for easy planning and contain a handy time schedule. The bookbinding on the HON has thread-stitch binding similar to the Hobonichi Techo Cousin, so it opens 180 degrees onto the table. It stays flat even if you don’t hold it down.

The book uses thin and light yet durable Tomoe River paper. This paper that underwent an overhaul with the 2024 edition techo is more resistant to bleed through, lighter despite being the same thickness, and has a smoother surface by adjusting the fibers of the paper. The back of the book has bonus pages, including Sample Symbols and Icons, How to Have Fun Keeping a Diary, and Oodles of Noodles.

As a special exclusive only for the HON, this techo comes with a pencil board. The board is A6 size and clear, with 5mm grid lines printed across it. There are measurements printed along one side in 1mm increments, which allow for use as a ruler. It also has a pen holder attached to it where users can store pens by their clips.

The Hobonichi Techo HON comes in either English or Japanese. If you love this cover, then you can pick out which language you’d like in that book.
