Hello, I’m Higashi from the techo team. Isn’t it so much fun to see everyone’s Techo Kaigi? After reading all of my teammates’ posts each day, I finally decided on my own techos for next year!



Every year, I usually just pick whichever techo feels right at the time, so this is actually my first proper Techo Kaigi. I started by reflecting on how I used my techo in 2025 and thought about how I’d like to use it next year, noting down whatever came to mind.

My reflections are on the left, and on the right are photos of the techos I want to use and how I’ll use them.

As I gradually organized my thoughts, I decided to use three techos in 2026: one for my diary, one for hobby tracking, and one for work. Allow me to introduce some of my favorite points about each, and how I'm planning to use them!

Diary
Kyohei Sakaguchi: Field Sky [A5 Cousin Size]


Just looking at Kyohei Sakaguchi’s pastel sky illustration gives me a calm, peaceful feeling.



The cover has a soft, smooth texture, and every time I hold it, it makes me a little happy. I plan to set the Cousin book inside and write freely about my day, my plans, and little everyday moments.



Since the Cousin is quite heavy, I always debate whether to go with the Avec books instead, but I want the feeling of getting to the end of the year and seeing how few pages are left.

The year’s almost over already...!

After much deliberation, I finally decided on using the regular Cousin book. I’m already looking forward to next fall.

Hobby Tracker
Makoto Matsubayashi: Dot [Weeks]
iyo okumi: Hobonichi Pencil Board (Happy Tea Time)


I thought this design for the Weeks was beautiful the second I saw it. Each dot is hand-drawn, so they’re all slightly different sizes and shapes.

Finding the little flower shapes hidden among them makes me happy too.

I plan to use this one to log my hobbies—books I read, places I want to go, travel plans, and notes from events. I think it’s perfect for collecting all the things I’m interested in.



I chose iyo okumi’s Happy Tea Time pencil board to go with it. The black characters living in a forest utopia somehow match the color of this techo—it just felt right, so I picked it on instinct.

Work Techo
Tolight: A Bright Year [Weeks]

Even the brand card that comes with purchase is adorable.

For work, I chose this Weeks with its bold floral cover. Each time I open it, I think it’ll give me that little extra spark to do my best.

The flower motif has a glossy shine to it.

I’ll use it for schedules, to-do lists, and also jot down new ideas and things I want to try—anything that helps me grow in my work.

Stationery to use with my techos
“TSUKI no IRO” stationery


The 2026 lineup's new TSUKI no IRO stationery series really caught my attention, so I bought the items interested me the most. The calm, muted colors make them easy to use in all sorts of ways, and buying them all together like this just makes me excited.

Thank you so much for reading all of our Techo Kaigi 2026 posts. You can catch up on any you missed on this page, so please take a look if you there are any you missed.
