Among the many charming and captivating items in the Hobonichi Techo 2027 lineup, there is one particular product that completely stole my heart.

It's the Hobonichi Landscape Notebook (I Dream of a Journey) created in collaboration with picture book author Akiko Miyakoshi.



First off, the illustration on the cover is simply sublime. It perfectly captures that unique feeling of going on a trip by airplane — a mix of fluttery excitement and a tiny touch of anticipation.



And then, there’s the back cover! It evokes the breathtaking view looking out of an airplane window—a scene you can only experience while flying high above the clouds. It displays a beautiful color gradient showing the soft light as the sun rises and sets.



I am completely smitten by this striking pairing between the front and back covers. Even when I’m not writing in the notebook, I’ll want to stand it upright on my desk just to enjoy it as decor.



On the bottom right of the cover, the phrase “Unforgettable Moments.” is foil-stamped in iridescent, rainbow-shimmering aurora colors. Seeing it makes me want to cherish this notebook and fill its pages with my own precious memories.



Inside, the pages feature a subtle light-yellow grid that looks easy to draw or write on! You can take a closer look at all the details here.

We also published an interview from when we visited Akiko Miyakoshi at her studio, so please give it a read if you’re interested.
