The Hobonichi Techo 2026 lineup is here, so in this video I’m doing a calm first look through the Preview Stage and pulling out the things that genuinely caught my eye. I go through the new covers and planner formats (A6 Original, A5 Cousin, Avec, and Day-Free), then move into the accessories that always end up being the “quiet upgrades” in my setup—pencil boards, clear covers, Deco Rush, stickers, and the little pieces that make daily pages feel more inviting to return to. I also spend time on the collaborations because that’s where Hobonichi’s seasonal storytelling really shows up. This year’s reveals include Junji Ito, SPY × FAMILY, Tamagotchi, Moomin, and more, and I talk through what feels practical versus what’s more of a collector moment. I wrap it all up with the key release detail so you can plan your order: Hobonichi Techo 2026 launches September 1, 2025 at 11:00 AM JST. If you’re deciding what to buy, my takeaway is to start with your format first (how you actually write), then choose covers and accessories that support your slower rituals—not just the hype.
