Today’s page is my little recreation of one of Akiko Miyakoshi’s dreamy illustrations from the Hobonichi Preview Forest 2027 page. 🌿✨ I had so much fun trying to capture this fluffy little bunny in my journal. 🥹🤍
it’s so beautiful and serene and i love airports so much … as a hon collector man im gutted :( i also just think that this design would really suit a hardcover for some reason ?
Thought people might find this screenshot helpful. It looks like the pasting book will be slightly taller than A5 so it isn't really A5 slim.

While I have seen a few comments about not being excited for the line up so far, I've got to say this is not the case for my. I personally love anything floral or pink. So the Yoshie Watanabe, Yumi Kitagishi, and the V&A collection are things I've quickly decided I need (I went to school for fashion design and basically one of my collections was inspired on William Morris wallpaper). My 2026 planners are the Yumi Kitagishi ones.
Buuut I've also learned I don't really need more than the Weeks for planning and maaaybe the A6 for journaling. (The cousin is too much space that, while nothing is wrong with having empty space I just feel like I'm not using it in a way that benefits me).
So alas.... what's a girl to do... buy it all and decide it's all part of a grander collection of my likes in life or just settle for one in a battle for the top spot, may the best design win.
Shared my reflections on my current lineup over on Substack!

basically the title.
I kind of got into a slump after starting my new job because of how tired I’ve been, so I decided to decorate my cousin to give it some pizazz! I absolutely love it, I think I’ll do this to all my journals in the future :)
By chance did anyone buy this last year? And if yes, what did youu use it for. Looking for ideas & inspo on how to fill this as I didn’t use it this year and i’m trying to be more intentional about using what I have before buying more this upcoming planner/notebook season.
I saw someone here on reddit do this and immediately wanted to try it out myself because I desperately need the weekly overview of work tasks (which is why I will switch back to a cousin for 2027 after two years in the original).
While I do like how it turned out (even though space is too small, but for the time being it works), I feel kind of lost now missing two daily pages for journaling.
Has anyone else experience with this? Could you make this work for you and if yes, how? I would like to do this until the year ends and I can move into a cousin.
I’m torn for 2027 and I’m hoping for a little insight. I need more grid pages than the Weeks provides, but the Mega provides more pages than I require. (I wish there was a middle ground!)
My question is, what is the difference in the everyday carry experience? I love how compact my Weeks is, even though she’s getting girthier as the year progresses. Does the Mega feel much bulkier from the get-go? Will it be monstrous by the end of the year? I like to decorate with washi, stickers, and the occasional photo.
Thanks for any insight you can offer!
This year was my first year using the Hobonichi techo and I love love love my a5 cousin as my catch all planner for work & life but I’ve been finding myself wasting a lot of space on some days / skipping days especially the weekends. Also as much as I love the a5 size in general for writing it’s just too big to carry around as a planner. I started off the year filling a lot of the extra space with my thoughts and ramblings but I’ve expanded my journal system to include other journals for that stuff.
Sooo for 2027 I really am hoping to try the weeks as my life planner and tracker, but I’m wondering what people like to do if they also need some type of planner for work? I like the idea of keeping work stuff a bit separate next year. But I’m struggling because I have really come to enjoy the almost daily routine of setting up my cousin for the day and writing down all of my to do’s (I usually separate work to-dos and personal to-dos). Can anyone speak to using the weeks and maybe an a6 at the same time, both as planners? Or any other planner suggestions?? lol I’m just so conflicted
Thank u <3
Edit: I also like having space to take notes for work
I'm learning gouache and been trying to add daily sketches of some foods I've had in that day or week. The dated pages keep me going!
is it just me or? I feel like what we’ve seen so far has been kind of underwhelming? I usually LOVE something this far into the month and I usually know what I’m getting at this point. But this year I just feel a little bit disappointed. I’m excited to see the bow and tie since that’s usually what I get for my mega, but I don’t know what I want for my a6 right now.
Actually saddened that my a6 this year is coming to an end.
Hello! Hope this is not a silly question. I have my eyes on some of the 2026 pouches (the clear brown) and I would like to order 2 of them this september, but I am unsure whether or not they will still be available for purchase once we have the 2027 drop. Last year was my first year ordering directly from the Hobonichi store, hence my question.
Thank you so much!
