From The Finer Point, beautiful photos of a Hobonichi Techo planner, after 10 months of daily use:
“The Hobonichi Techo has been the one stationery constant in my life this year. I use it every day to record things that have happened, places I have visited and big occasions that I want to remember. I am now 10 months in and I have only missed a handful of days. This post is a round-up of the good and the bad of the Techo and my plans for next year….
…as you use the planner over the course of the year the ink changes the make up of the tomoe river paper. You get this gorgeous rippling effect on the paper and the planner expands just slightly accommodating the ink on the page. I have noticed now writing in October, 10 months in, the planner has expanded over the course of the year to the point that maximising the space on the left page is becoming a bit of a challenge.”
Seeing that broken in, bulked-up planner makes me want to give my Hobonichi a try! I’ve had it stashed away (and it’s not for the current year) but maybe it’s time to break it out…

What an amazing site, I am going through your pages with my mouth open.. I’m so glad I found it.
The Hobonichi 2016 is available from JetPens.com This was my first year of using it, and I am very pleased with the outcome. I have a tendency to fall behind, but I keep good notes each day, so can go back and re-construct the happenings of each day. A really nice notebook, and my experience with it is the same as the Finer Points!
Thanks for the link to that Hobo story. I’ve been faunching over a 2016 planner for months and this helped me make one of those inspired and rationalized impulse decisions. Ordered from Voyager and it arrived in two,days. Looks like it will be fun.
I can’t wait to start my Hononichi journey this year (the 16th of Dec as the halfpage’s start then). I shan’t use it for journalling but rather more for doodles as I love Tomoe River paper.
