Thank you for your interest in the Hobonichi Techo and Hobonichi Planner.

In 2001, we set off to create our own techo (planner) by putting together all of our ideas for innovative designs and engaging functionality to create something we wanted to use personally. These origins that define the Hobonichi Techo as it is today are very much a part of us, as we gradually refined the techo each and every year since its debut fourteen years ago.

Already, the number of Hobonichi Techo users has reached 600,000 in 2016. Over the years, we've made updates to the design–some based on customer input, some that were a bit over the top, and some that we just plain wanted to put in. It's only been a bit over a decade, but this journey is what makes the Hobonichi Techo unique: a high quality planner with a quirkiness that's years in the making.

This year, Hobonichi Techo products including the Hobonichi Planner are only sold at our web storefront Hobonichi Store and select retailers:

We understand that there are imitations by other manufacturers and vendors. They may seem similar, but they are not Hobonichi Techo products.

We hope you choose our products at the Hobonichi Store or the designated retailers above, and enjoy the true Hobonichi Techo experience we work so hard to provide.

致Hobonichi手帐顾客们的一封信

Hobonichi手帐始发于2002年，
每一年都在进行着细微地改良，
变得越来越有趣，设计也愈发精致。
2016年版的Hobonichi手帐迎来了15岁生日，
大约有600,000人已经成为了它的忠实粉丝。

由于Hobonichi手帐设计的原点就在于
“想给我们自己做一本记事本”，
所以手帐里有看上去很“自私”的设计，
也有根据用户们的要求进行的改良，
我们甚至做了很多看上去并不必要的努力。
然而正是将这些点点滴滴的用心累积了15年，
终于，塑造了这本独一无 二的Hobonichi手帐。

然而近年来，模仿Hobonichi手帐的山寨品
也开始在各个网站，各种各样的商店里层出不穷。

所以如果您或朋友入手新的Hobonichi手帐之时，
请一定认准Hobonichi Store或者以下授权经营店铺：

同时，若您发现有人在销售山寨品，
请坚决抵制购买，并告知您周围的Hobonichi粉丝。
若您能将假货的URL网址发至我们的邮箱：
store@1101.com，我们将无比感激。

Hobonichi的改良与革新仍在分秒不停地进行，
希望它能够与您互相陪伴，走过更久远的岁月。
