Hello! This is Iwasawa from the techo team.

Our Techo News series, “Hobonichi Techo Kaigi,” has kicked off again this year! I’ve been secretly looking forward to seeing which techos all my colleagues choose.

Without further ado, here are the items I picked!



My choices aren’t too different from what I shared during our recent “Hobonichi Techo Kaigi LIVE” YouTube stream, but I’ve finally made up my mind about the HON and Weeks I was torn between! (A huge thank you to everyone who tuned in and gave me advice!)

For my private techo — where I pack in everything from concert memories and travel logs to daily morning brain dumps based on the day’s theme — I’m continuing with the Cousin Avec for 2027. I love how the generous layout accepts whatever I throw at it, and this will be my third year using the Cousin size!

For the cover, I had to chose PUPPET SUNSUN, I love him! I get so excited thinking about what to slip into the front pocket, and I can’t help but smirk whenever I flip open the back pocket to check on PUPPET SUNSUN hiding inside. So cute!

And of course, I’m pairing it with the matching pencil board that I knew I had to get as a set. Ah, so cute...!



Next up is my work HON, which I was still deliberating on during the livestream. In the end, I decided on the Slash (Navy) design!

I’ve loved how comfortably it fits in my hand and its dignified presence, so I already knew I wanted another HON this year. I was torn between this and Hiroko Kubota’s “String Telephone until the Full Moon,” but I really love my current habit of slowly decorating my cover with favorite stickers over the course of the year, so I went with Slash after all! I’m already so excited wondering what the very first sticker I paste next year will be.

Next up is my Weeks, which I asked those that tuned into the stream which I should pick up.
Having been involved in producing the techo book itself — including editing and selecting the quotes — the Moomin edition was a definite choice from the start.

I thought it would be wonderful to see two years’ worth of books lined up side-by-side like this, so I chose the Moomin: At the Table (Special Edition) Weeks. As with previous years, I plan to use this Moomin Weeks for work scheduling and managing to-do lists. Enjoying the Moomin quotes and illustrations will definitely keep me motivated at work!

As for my second weeks, after endless deliberation, I finally decided on PUPPET SUNSUN: Banana!



Besides loving PUPPET SUNSUN, the final deciding factor was how energized I feel just looking at that vibrant yellow color! Thank you so much to everyone who gave me advice during the livestream! (I was also so happy when people mentioned that Liberty Fabrics: Floral Remedy would suit me, too!)

Naturally, I’m using the matching PUPPET SUNSUN pencil board here as well. The contrast in size between PUPPET SUNSUN on the Weeks cover and PUPPET SUNSUN on the pencil board is just irresistible. Ah, so cute!



For now, I plan to use this book to record my thoughts on books I read, movies I watch, and art exhibitions I visit. I really loved the way used their Weeks during the livestream, so I decided to copy it! Since the Weeks is so easy to carry around, I can easily jot down fresh impressions while sitting at a café.

And look at all these stationery items!



Beyond the Moomin and PUPPET SUNSUN items I wanted to pair with my techos, the Hello Kitty items were so impossibly cute that — even though I had secretly debated getting more until the very end — I ended up buying the stickers and clear files! I’m thinking about pasting the stickers on the cover of my HON.

I also picked up the Collect & Collage: Collage Stickers (Deco). They come in both masking tape and film materials and are so cute — I plan to use them for my travel logs in 2027.

And that wraps up my Techo Kaigi!
