Hobonichi Techo 2026 - Large 5-Year Techo - A5 Cover Only - The Sea’s Dream at Dawn by Hiroko Kubota

This imaginative Hobonichi 5-Year Techo cover features artwork by illustrator Hiroko Kubota. Designed to remain fresh and engaging over five years of daily use, the cover is full of subtle motifs that reward closer inspection.

The scene depicts a mysterious dawn by the sea: sugar-grain meteors fall across a pale sky, while a lighthouse keeps a steady beat of light. A cat aboard a boat quietly adjusts the ocean’s salt levels, flying fish sew seams into the waves, and giraffe-like gantry cranes share a chat at the water’s edge.

Gold-foil details highlight the largest meteor in the sky, while the cover’s interior continues the tranquil expanse of sea and sky. A pale gray bookmark with a gentle sheen complements the design, and an inner pen hook keeps your pen secure without breaking the clean silhouette.

This cover embodies Kubota’s signature blend of originality, beauty, and playful ideas — a worthy companion for five years of memories.
