Hollywood Ranch Market Indigo Jeans Pocket [Large 5-Year Techo]

A5 Size (fits Large 5-Year Techo)

*The 5-Year techo does not fit in covers meant for standard one-year techo books.

This is a techo cover for the Large Hobonichi 5-Year Techo created in collaboration with Hollywood Ranch Market, an original brand from Seilin & Co.

Hollywood Ranch Market was launched in 1972 based on casual-style clothing. The brand’s first jeans, “PP4,” is loved by the fans to this day, with memories for many. This cover is a scaled-down version of its hip pocket design. As the feature of the jeans, the back pocket is designed with the essence of Hollywood Ranch Market.

The denim’s unique durability and indigo-blue color, which changes richly and distinctively with each touch, are also its charms.



Since it is an actual pocket, you can store small items such as sticky notes and lipsticks.



The Hollywood Ranch Market tag on the left side of the front cover pocket is the same as that of “PP4;” we made the design as realistic as possible.



The pen hook inside the cover is designed to hold a pen by its clip, and the pen fills out the cover nicely when closed.



On the left side of the inner cover, there is a pocket for cards, sticky notes, and other small items.



We hope you enjoy the beauty of the cover, which is full of playfulness, as it changes over the five years spent together with you.

Large Hobonichi 5-Year Techo Japanese Book (2025-2029) [A5 size]

A5 Size / 2025-2029 / Five Years in One Book

This A5-size book has pages dated across a 5-year span. The textured cover is a calming shade of brown with the years foil-pressed in gold, and the book contains a dark brown bookmark for a complete look that works well without adding an additional cover.

Each page contains the same, easy-to-use 3.7 mm graph paper as the A5 Hobonichi Techo Cousin, making it perfect for writing or drawing. The paper is a subtle cream color that’s easy on the eyes, and the printing is charcoal gray to allow handwriting to stand out from the page.

On each spread, the left page has the date and day of the week for all 5 years, with days of the week written in Japanese.

Because it’s the “Large” Hobonichi 5-Year Techo, you’ll be able to write about your everyday life to your heart’s content. There’s plenty of space to record your five years as freely as you like — you can write using a thick pen or add drawings. (Holidays are not listed in the book.)



This larger version works great as a shared diary among family members or a team notebook shared among several people at work.

The right page is a blank page for anything you’d like — continuing entries you couldn’t fit on the left, jotting notes you’d like to leave for the future, pasting items, and more. The Japanese daily quotes on the bottom of the page are excerpts from Hobo Nikkan Itoi Shinbun articles from the past years. We renewed the daily quotes from the 2023 edition, five years after its first release.



The book has the same thread-stitch binding as a dictionary, allowing it to lay flat open for comfortable writing. It stays flat even if you don’t hold it down.

The book uses thin and light yet durable Tomoe River paper. This paper that underwent an overhaul with the 2024 edition techo is more resistant to bleed through, lighter despite being the same thickness, and has a smoother surface by adjusting the fibers of the paper.



The start of the book contains a yearly calendar across the 5-year span. The back of the book contains useful pages such as “A Year Per Page” memo pages, “Gifts” for tracking gifts given and received, “Addresses” to list important contact information, “My Lists” for making a list of any theme of your choice, “My Favorite Things” to write down your favorite things by answering questions, and “Personal Notes” to record information about yourself. (These pages are in Japanese.)











The Large Hobonichi 5-Year Techo will be delivered in a turquoise blue paper box. The box will contain a user manual and a test sheet of paper for you to get a feel for the paper and test pen or ink compatibility.



We have examples of how you can use your 5-Year Techo on the 5-Year Techo page. We also have covers available for the Hobonichi 5-Year Techo.
*The 5-Year techo does not fit in covers meant for standard one-year techo books.



We also have the Hobonichi Pencil Board fitted for the paper size of the Large Hobonichi 5-Year Techo. Not only does it keep pens from slipping and makes writing more manageable, but it also serves as a bookmark for the page that you are writing. It’s a standard item that would excellently match your techo.

Size H: 8.4" x W: 6.1" x T: 1"

What is Tomoe River paper?

The Hobonichi Techo's Tomoe River paper is designed to prevent bleed-through, but some fountain pens and water-based ink pens are not compatible with this paper. When switching to a new pen, we recommend testing the pen somewhere in the book, such as the back memo pages, to see if the ink bleeds through or takes an especially long time to dry.

On each spread, the left page has the date and day of the week for all 5 years, with days of the week written in Japanese.

Because each page contains a total of 5 days, a single day’s entry is compact enough to either fill with writing or write a single sentence and feel satisfied with the entry. It’s a perfect setup for those who are worried about being able to continue using a book for 5 years. (Holidays are not listed in the book.)

Large Hobonichi 5-Year Techo Leather Cover (Red)

A5 Size (fits Large 5-Year Techo)

*The 5-Year techo does not fit in covers meant for standard one-year techo books.

The gorgeous and timeless Red cover is specially designed to comfortably fit the Large Hobonichi 5-Year Techo.

The covers were created to protect the book you’ll carry with you for 5 years. It will conform nicely to your hands over time, and you’ll enjoy its classic look for years to come.

The front of the cover is foil-pressed with the name Hobonichi 5-Year Techo in silver.



The bottom left interior of all the covers are also imprinted with the Hobonichi logo to enhance the feel of the leather and keep the design nice and simple.



Inside the cover on the right-hand side is a pen hook that can store a pen by its clip. The pen hook has a diameter of 8mm and will not fit pens with extra-wide clips.



The inside of the leather cover spine has undergone a leathercraft process called “skiving” to provide a perfect fit.



Because the cover uses a firm leather, the front cover may rise from the book in the beginning due to a tight fit. Over continued use, the cover will break in to lay flat with the book. The leather’s character and color deepens over time for a transformation that’s a joy to watch. We recommend waterproof spray and other leather care goods for users who would like to protect their covers and keep the leather clean.

minä perhonen

ohayo (Navy) [5-Year Techo]

A6 Size (fits 5-Year Techo)

minä perhonen creates timeless, all-original garment textiles that are specially dyed, embroidered, and woven to recreate hand-drawn designs.

We created this Hobonichi 5-Year Techo cover in the hope you will spend your five years with this minä perhonen textile growing more attached to it every time you touch it.

The ohayo textile features small flowers embroidered intermittently across the background. The fluffy embroidery of the flowers seem to call out to you and wish you a good morning (“Ohayo” in Japanese), giving this textile an energizing and innocent look. The cover material is cotton linen with a rough, bumpy texture, and the fluffy flowers are pleasant to the touch.



The cover interior is a natural leather to enjoy it maturing, and there is a tag on the bottom-right.



The pen hook on the right-hand side of the cover interior is designed to hold a pen by its clip.



Each cover contains a unique arrangement of the pattern. We hope you enjoy your one-of-a-kind cover.

Large Hobonichi 5-Year Techo Cover (Search & Collect)

A5 Size (fits Large 5-Year Techo)

*The 5-Year techo does not fit in covers meant for standard one-year techo books. 

We’ve made a cover that’s perfect for the Large Hobonichi 5-Year Techo, where you can augment all the little things that happen in your daily life for five years.

The herringbone material is made with wool tweed. The complex blue-gray color scheme gives the cover a high-end and eloquent feel.　

The brass button shining in the center of this cover is by button and jewelry specialty shop CO-, which handles everything from antiques to modern items. They’ve specially created these buttons for the Hobonichi Techo cover by reprinting antique buttons originally made in England.

Etched into the button is an old symbol of good luck, the honey bee, and a dainty flower.



The button starts out bright and shiny, and gradually darkens and dulls over time for that classic brass look you can enjoy while your cover matures alongside you.



There are two button snaps so the cover can accommodate your techo’s growing thickness if you paste in items like photographs and ticket stubs.





Search & Collect was initially made as A6 Original and A5 Cousin covers in the 2020 lineup. We soon realized that the concept of the brass button maturing alongside you perfectly matched the that of the 5-Year Techo, so we decided to renew it as a cover specially for the 5-Year Techo.

The features on the interior are made as simple as possible. The pen holder is designed to store the pen body. This cover doesn’t come with a bookmark, so please use the bookmark on the 5-Year Techo itself, or a bookmark of your choice.



Just as a honey bee seeks and collects nectar, so you should seek out all of life’s joys and gather them little by little, all in your 5-Year Techo.
