Hobonichi Techo Accessories Hobonichi Graph Notebook (A5)

I've used a lot of notebooks/journals/diaries and these are in a class of their own. It's the (1) paper, which is entirely unique, durable, and smear-resistant and (2) binding, which is flexible enough to fold repeatedly inside-out and retain 100% integrity. Bury me with one of these.

This is my go to planner right now, this is a plain A5 size notebook with Tomoe River paper (this paper is wonderfully light, and able to handle a LOT). For those that use fountain pens, this notebook is a no brainer. I really love the size of this notebook, the thought and design that went into this. If you like the Hobonichi brand, but have trouble with the ‘daily’ page layout, this blank notebook might be a better version if you prefer more blank space for personalization. Pros: - Hobonichi is a company I trust, the quality is unrivaled - Tomoe river paper, feels super light and handle a lot of moisture and ink on the page - Fountain pens have minimal bleed through and ghosting - This notebook has about 4 sections, the distinction is very subtle, the color of the graph squares changes (pink, blue, green, purple), you can see this is the last two photos I posted to see the subtlety - Really small squares with the graph paper, I haven’t seen any notebook that has squares this small, ideal for writing tons! - The notebook feels really compact, doesn’t feel heavy to carry around on the go at all Cons: - You probably want a clear plastic cover to avoid the corners getting bent, I use a plastic cover used for most A5 notebooks and it works great Not many cons!! Overall still 5/5 stars

Perfect for a junk journal! Paper is great. Just like my hobonichi weeks.

This is my third purchase. Perfect for a daily journal. Paper is great with fountain pens

Nice notebook. Smooth writing. Just one of the many notebooks I enjoy using.

I really like this notebook. I can't say I love it and I'm not committed to purchasing it again because the graph print is faint and practically absent on some pages (especially the green ones). I'm sure that this, in part, is due to caution with the printing process due to the extremely thin (yet high quality) paper. I'll be using it, for sure, but not for the purpose I originally had intended. If you don't need the graphing to be easily visible, I'd highly recommend the notebook. Not what I expected from Hobinichi. Perhaps a off-quality paper roll slipped through to manufacturing.

The notebook is the best of its type in my opinion. The A5 size suits me, there are a lot of pages, the gridded paper (while it may not be as good as it was 5 or 10 years ago) is still fountain pen friendly, with some ghosting but no bleed-through. The vendor kept their promise of speedy delivery and the notebooks arrived undamaged. What more could you ask?

I tried using this organizer years ago but couldn't get into it. This time I'm ready to commit to using it. It's well laid out. I created a system of how I would use each section of this organizer. It totally helped me stay committed to using it. The best thing is the paper. It's so thin but durable. I can use fountain pens, mechanical pencils and watercolor on it. No problem. I can put stickers on it. Also no problem. I really enjoy the paper which is the reason I went back to this organizer.

La escritura es muy suave, los colores de las tintas fidedignos, no se traspasa, papel delgado; o es Tomoe River original o se parece mucho.

This lovely book is a journal must have for pixelated journalling! Lovely paper.

Ich habe das Notizbuch aufgrund anderer Rezensionen gekauft, da ich auf der Suche nach einem dünnen Notizbuch war. Das Papier ist schön glatt, sodass man sehr flüssig darauf schreiben kann. Obwohl dass Papier sehr dünn ist, drückt die Tinte des Stiftes (radierbarer Gelstift) nicht durch. Natürlich scheint das Geschriebene etwas durch die Seiten, aber auch mit herkömmlichen Textmarkern drückt nichts durch die Seiten. Von mir eine klare Empfehlung.

I have the Hobonichi cousin (daily pages) as a planner, but I am reading the Artist Way book by Julia Cameron and needed some kind of notebook to write 3 pages per day as it's the book's most important exercise. I loooove the hobonichi line size, it keeps my lettering clean and small the way I like it, so I got this to try and no regrets. Paper is amazing as usual, works great with my favourite pens, and now I have a place to write long form with no filter, as I try to keep my planner tidy.

I use a Hobinichi weeks and love the paper, but don't need another diary format. Paper in A5 booklet brilliant! So narrow because of paper width. Just wish they did them in dot! Excellent with fountain pens - even juicy ones...
