Hi Pen Friends! In this video, I’m finally doing the final flip through of my completed Hobonichi 5-Year Techo A6—and honestly, it still feels a little unreal to say that out loud. After five full years of showing up (even on the busy, messy, “nothing special happened” days), this little book is now completely filled with everyday moments, tiny memories, and quiet reflections that I’m so grateful I captured. As I flip through the finished pages, I also share how the Techo held up over time—because if you’re committing to something for five years, durability matters. I talk about what it’s really like to keep a 5-year journal, what makes this format so doable, and why it can feel so rewarding to look back and see your life layered in the same space year after year. If you’ve been curious about the Hobonichi 5-Year and you’re wondering if it fits your journaling style (especially if you love fountain pens, inks, and memory keeping), I hope my experience helps you decide. Here’s to finishing what we start—one page at a time.
