Hobonichi HON A5 2026 Planner: Bow & Tie - In the Forest

The Bow & Tie series is covered with the same textured, shiny fabric used in neckties. The material has a beautiful gloss and is soft to the touch. This In the Forest cover features a soft, muted blue background adorned with animals and plants from the forest. The design is woven in fine detail using necktie fabric, depicting owls, bears, rabbits, squirrels, wildflowers, birds, and more.




The gentle expressions and gestures of the forest animals are also carefully recreated. Since the material is the same as that used for actual neckties, the woven texture feels smooth to the touch, and the silky luster adds to its charm.




Somewhere in the design, you’ll find a Hobonichi Techo resting on a tree stump. It feels as if someone has paused to take a break in the forest, surrounded by the animals.




The book spine is foil-pressed in silver with the year 2026 and the HON logo for easy reference when placed in your bookshelf alongside other books.

This design captures the peaceful lives of creatures living in a tranquil forest. Even in the midst of busy days, may it help you spend your time with a sense of calm and ease.

The contents are the same as the Hobonichi Techo Cousin book. The HON A5 size includes weekly pages which track a week in each two-page spread for easy planning and contain a handy time schedule.




The bookbinding on the HON has thread-stitch binding similar to the Hobonichi Techo books, so it opens 180 degrees onto the table. It stays flat even if you don’t hold it down.




The book uses thin and light yet durable Tomoe River paper. It's characterized by its ability to hold ink well and provide a smooth writing experience.




The back of the book has bonus pages, including Memories 2026, 12 Switches to Help You Focus, and For a Comfortable Night’s Sleep.




As a special exclusive only for the HON, this techo comes with a pencil board. The board is clear, with 5mm grid lines printed across it. There are measurements printed along one side in 1mm increments, which allow for use as a ruler. It also has a pen holder attached to it where users can store pens by their clips.
