Hello! This is Ogawa from the sales team on the techo crew. Have you decided on your 2027 techo yet? I have a few items I decided on in a heartbeat, and others I’m still agonizing over!

First, let me show you everything — including the ones I haven't made up my mind on. Here they are!

If you include the notebooks, I think I'll end up using 4 techos next year. Here's how I plan on using them:

---

1) For Work: Cousin Avec & Cover


Since I used a work techo in 2026, I knew right from the start that I wanted a Cousin Avec paired with a cover. The only question was which cover to pick, but this year I made my decision in an instant! I absolutely love Moominpappa at Sea, so I knew if I were getting a cover, it had to be this one! I’m so happy it features the famous scene of Moominmamma sleeping inside the mural she painted on the wall.

For the book inside, I’m continuing with the Cousin Avec following 2026. The spacious layout gives me plenty of room for notes, and because it’s split into two 6-month books, it isn’t too heavy for my daily commute. It’s a wonderful book for desk work and office days.

To keep it clean while carrying it around, I’m using it with a Cover on Cover.
(Note: It’s a pretty snug fit, so I might take it off later depending on how it feels...)

2. For Private "Writing": A5 HON (English)

In 2026, I used an Original and a Day-Free together for my personal life, but for 2027, I fell in love with this design and decided to switch over to the HON! I was also deeply moved by William Morris’s famous quote foil-stamped on the cover:


Have nothing in your houses that you do not know
to be useful or believe to be beautiful.

I seriously couldn't agree more! So, as one of those things I believe to be beautiful, I’ve decided to keep this techo in my house.

However, I have a habit of pasting lots of receipts and wrappers into my techo, so I’m a bit worried it might lose its shape... Just as I was wondering what to do, a savior appeared!

3. The Pasting Notebook to stick all my personal things in!

Ta-da! The notebook dedicated to “pasting” from the new Collect & Collage series — aptly named the Pasting Notebook!

It’s sized perfectly to freely paste tall tickets or long receipts, and the grid lines at the top and bottom make it easy to add short comments.

Just pasting items and jotting down small notes creates a look reminiscent of a curated collection. For anyone with a habit of collecting things — myself included — this is simply irresistible!



Along with the Pasting Notebook, I picked two types of stickers from the same Collect & Collage series.

Since they’re from the same series, any combination of stickers will look cohesive and organized—so reliable! Having a set of stickers with matching aesthetics is super handy.

I can’t wait to keep pasting away and collecting memories!

4. Undecided Usage: Weeks

I didn’t use the Weeks in 2026, and I hadn’t planned on using one in 2027 either, but there's so many lovely designs that I want!
I think I'll decide what to do with it by first gather ideas from Instagram and YouTube.

Floral Remedy (left) has a sophisticated floral pattern I love, Graph Plaid (center) has an intelligent, crisp vibe, and Frosty Jade (right) has a cool color palette with subtle, charming shimmer. I’m completely torn!

I’ll make up my mind on which one to get before the end of the year!

Epilogue

In holding my techo meeting, I realized how much fun it is to mull over choices and get delightfully torn between multiple designs I love. I hope you all have fun picking your techo for next year, too!

Look forward to tomorrow’s techo news update!
