#116 of 383Hobonichi Techo Planner
Press shot: a Hobonichi Techo planner open to a daily page showing the grid layout and Tomoe River paper, with a fountain pen resting in the spine and a fabric cover visible around the edges.
Hobonichi's Techo is a Japanese daily planner that gives you 1 page per day on thin Tomoe River paper. Paper is so smooth and lightweight that a full year's worth fits in about half an inch. I want 1 because the grid layout on each page is open enough for writing, drawing, or pasting in photos, and the paper takes fountain pen ink without bleeding. Covers come in hundreds of designs, and that customization makes the planner feel personal before you write a single word. At $30 for the refill and $50 for the cover, it's reasonable for something you touch every day.
