This year Hobonichi's theme is all about being present and I am obsessed
"Today is a gift.
I think it was around the beginning of the year that I had met with the Hobonichi Techo team about the concept of making the most of each and every day. The past and the future are both connected to “today.” Thinking this way makes life more exciting. If we cherish today, which will never come again, and which comes only once, it will lead us to the future, and we can also cherish the past. Hobonichi Techo is a daily planner, so in other words, the “present” is “TODAY.”" Shigesato Itoi, Said as part of his interview for the 2024 hobonichi techo reveal.
Hobonichi Techo, often referred to as the "life book," embodies the Japanese philosophy of simplicity and mindfulness. These planners, with their minimal design, exquisite Tomoe River paper, and practical layouts, have been a cult favorite of creatives, professionals, and everyday users worldwide. They invite you to document your thoughts, jot down daily happenings, or sketch your ideas, turning the ordinary act of planning into a mindful and artistic practice.
