Graph Notebook | Hobonichi","description":"\u003ch3\u003eHobonichi Graph Notebook, Keiko Shibata “Who Is It?”\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA notebook that is perfectly happy to be just a notebook, but happens to have very good taste.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOriginally introduced as the Hobonichi Plain Notebook, the \u003cstrong\u003eHobonichi Graph Notebook\u003c\/strong\u003e was created for people who wanted the same wonderful paper and writing experience as the Hobonichi Techo, without necessarily needing a planner. Starting with the 2025 edition, it got a new name, but thankfully none of the good stuff changed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis edition features artwork by picture book author and illustrator \u003cstrong\u003eKeiko Shibata\u003c\/strong\u003e, whose warm oil-pastel illustration, \u003cem\u003eWho Is It?\u003c\/em\u003e, captures a wonderfully ordinary little mystery. A visitor has arrived at the door, and the cats are very interested. One watches from inside, another peers through the window. Are they excited to welcome the guest? Or are they conducting a thorough feline security assessment? We may never know.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe back cover echoes the red door in the illustration and features Shibata’s printed signature.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInside, you get the thing Hobonichi does exceptionally well: \u003cstrong\u003ethin, durable Tomoe River paper that feels lovely to write on and opens completely flat\u003c\/strong\u003e. The 3.7 mm graph ruling is the same grid used in the Hobonichi Techo Original, making it equally happy with writing, lists, drawings, planning, or whatever else you feel like putting on the page.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe A6 version has \u003cstrong\u003e240 pages\u003c\/strong\u003e, while the A5 has \u003cstrong\u003e288 pages\u003c\/strong\u003e. Even better, the page ink changes color every 60 pages in the A6 and every 72 pages in the A5, rotating through red, blue, green, and purple. It’s a small detail, but a clever one: use the colors to divide the notebook into different subjects or simply make it easier to find something you wrote ages ago.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnd because the sizes correspond to the \u003cstrong\u003eA6 Original and A5 Cousin Hobonichi Techo\u003c\/strong\u003e, you can tuck either notebook into a compatible Techo cover. Add a pen or some sticky notes and suddenly your humble notebook has become a very capable little portable office.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOf course, it works beautifully on its own, too. Keep one beside your chair, in your bag, on your desk, or wherever good ideas tend to ambush you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnd if you're already smitten with Shibata’s cats, pair it with a Techo cover or Weeks featuring her artwork for the full charmingly cat-obsessed effect.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy You'll Love It\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe paper:\u003c\/strong\u003e Thin, durable Tomoe River paper with the smooth writing experience Hobonichi fans expect.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA very good cover story:\u003c\/strong\u003e Keiko Shibata’s warm oil-pastel cats turn an everyday notebook into something you’ll actually enjoy looking at.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA clever little grid:\u003c\/strong\u003e The 3.7 mm graph paper works beautifully for writing, drawing, lists, and everything in between.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eColor-coded pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e The graph ink changes color throughout the book, making it easy to divide sections or find old notes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMade to fit your Techo cover:\u003c\/strong\u003e Available in A6 and A5 to correspond with the Original and Cousin sizes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDetails\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hobonichi\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Line:\u003c\/strong\u003e Graph Notebook\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDesign:\u003c\/strong\u003e Keiko Shibata, “Who Is It?”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSizes:\u003c\/strong\u003e A6 or A5\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 240 pages (A6); 288 pages (A5)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePaper:\u003c\/strong\u003e Tomoe River\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGrid:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3.7 mm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBinding:\u003c\/strong\u003e Opens completely flat\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCountry of Origin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Japan\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Hightide USA Inc.","offers":[{"title":"A6","offer_id":52798126063928,"sku":null,"price":29.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"A5","offer_id":52798126096696,"sku":null,"price":32.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0033\/3040\/8559\/files\/Hobonichi-Techo-Accessories-Keiko-Shibata-Hobonichi-Graph-Notebook-who-is-it-isadora-popper.jpg?v=1786584893","url":"https:\/\/www.isadorapopper.com\/products\/keiko-shibata-who-is-it-graph-notebook-hobonichi","provider":"Isadora Popper","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
