Hello, I’m Yoshida. I keep a Hobonichi 5-Year Techo, but I’m the type who likes to save up my entries and write them all at once on the weekend.

I often spend my “techo time” at my favorite cafes—reading, working, or catching up on my entries. Today, I’d like to introduce the stationery that is essential for these sessions away from home.





The best partner for my Hobonichi 5-Year Techo is the Pilot “Juice Up,” as mentioned here.



Because the space for each day in the 5-Year Techo is on the smaller side, this fine nib is just right. It’s water-based, writes so smoothly, and I feel like it doesn’t bleed through very much, either. I once had a great time chatting with about how it’s such a perfect match for the 5-Year Techo!



When I want to use a fountain pen, I reach for my “Kaweco Classic Sport.” It’s compact and perfect for carrying around. There are several nib sizes available, but I personally use the F (Fine) nib.


Since it’s quite fine, I can write to fit the grid of the 5-Year Techo like this.


I also love the design of the cap. It’s a treasure I received from a colleague when I moved to a new job.



Since I had other work to do on this day, I also brought along some sticky notes for my todo list. These are the “Sticky Memo Todo List” by suatelier. For someone like me who is forgetful and whose thoughts tend to wander here and there, sticky notes are absolutely indispensable.

Whenever I suddenly remember a small task while working—like “Oh, I need to email Mr. 〇〇” or “I should hand over that document”—I jot it down on a sticky note right away. I can then move them freely between my techo, my desk, or my computer. That versatility is the best thing about sticky notes.

Thanks for reading, and please look forward to the next update!
