Description This A5 Hobonichi notebook features a botanical illustration of a Yamazakura drawn by Dr. Tomitaro Makino is on the front cover, has Tomoe River paper, opens completely flat, and contains graph paper divided into 4 colors. The Tomoe River paper thin and durable paper, which allows the 288-page book to stay at a mere 10mm thick, giving you plenty of room to fill to your heart’s content. The 3.7mm graph paper is also the same graph size as that of the Japanese-edition Hobonichi Techo Original. The color of the ink on the page changes every 72 pages (red/blue/green/purple), making it easy to split the book into several themes or use the colors as a way to more easily find old entries. The notebook size is the same as the A5 Cousin, which makes it compatible with any of the Cousin’s Hobonichi covers. Consider adding a cover, which is great for storing items like pens or sticky notes, and provides a very convenient user experience. The notebook is also a great supplement to the Hobonichi Techo, or simply a slim notebook to keep by your side for filling with lots of writings or drawings. ** Please note that the Hobonichi Plain Notebooks use the older version of Tomoe River paper.
