Hobonichi 2024 A6 Planner Cover [Jin Kitamura ‘Love It’ Panda]

Illustrator and children’s book author Jin Kitamura created the cute illustration featured on this techo cover. The image shows pandas happily playing with tires. It was drawn in crayon for a laid-back look, and each panda has a different expression. The image is so cute that you’ll never ‘tire’ of looking at it (excuse the pun!).

Behind the pandas is a colourful background, which really accentuates how much fun the pandas are having. These illustrations are printed on a natural-coloured canvas material which works perfectly with the gentle expressions of the pandas.

Kitamura’s signature is featured on the pocket on the back of the cover.

The round bookmark charms are reminiscent of round tires.

Kitamura’s panda illustrations are also featured on a Weeks book, pencil board, Deco Rush products and the Translucent Sticky Notes all available to purchase at The Journal Shop, so you can surround yourself with cute pandas.

Changes in 2024

The A6 planner cover is no longer sold as a set to include the planner. From 2024, you will now have the option of buying a planner to fit your cover of choice, separately. The A6 cover fits the ‘planner’ and the ‘orginal’. Please see our range of Hobonichi planners, here. 

Specifics of the A6 Cover

1. Butterfly-stopper
   This is the name for the pen holders that are on either side of the cover. By closing the techo cover and putting a pen through both pen holders, it acts as a hinge and holds the cover shut, preventing the pages from crumpling.

   

2. Various pockets
   The Hobonichi Techo cover comes with lots of pockets both on the inside and outside. There are various shapes and sizes, from those in which you can store small cards to those that can fit larger postcards.

   

3. Two bookmarks
   The covers come with two bookmarks with triangular and rectangular charms on the ends (the shape of the charms may differ depending on the cover). It’s useful to use each bookmark to mark different pages, for example using one for the monthly calendar and one for the daily pages.
