Printed with calligrapher Yuichi Inoue’s work on ecru cotton. Among his many bold and expressive single-character pieces, two of his “flower” works—part of a motif he explored in over 400 pieces—were chosen for this design. The interior features a dual-tone color scheme of natural ecru and vibrant yellow. It has "butterfly stopper" pen holders that also function as a clasp to keep the cover shut.

This Original cover will comfortably fit A6 notebooks with a spine of 0.5 inches (1.27cm) or smaller. Though it has the capacity to fit spines larger than 0.5in, the cover might have a tighter fit. Add a clear Hobonichi Cover on Cover to protect this cover from wear and tear and add extra space for storing photos, stickers, and postcards.

Please note: A6 and A5 covers in the 2026 April Start lineup are sold exclusively as sets with matching planner books and are offered only in the Japanese edition.

Known for his vibrant style, he gained international recognition and held many exhibitions in Japan and abroad, including the 1954 Japanese Calligraphy Exhibition at MoMA in New York. By his death on June 15, 1985, at age 69, he had created over 3,000 works.
