*The 5-Year techo does not fit in covers meant for standard one-year techo books. Only compatible with Hobonichi 5-Year Techo Covers.

This 5-Year techo 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 A6 Hobonichi Techo Original and 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 are 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. There’s also enough room to use thick pens, draw pictures, or fill the entry with whatever you want. (Holidays are not listed in the book.)

The larger A5 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.


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, “World History in the Scale of a Single Year” for informational reading material, and “Personal Notes” to record information about yourself. (These pages are in Japanese.)

The 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 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.

Users interested in a compact book or shorter entries can benefit from the A6 size Hobonichi 5-Year Techo.
