    DokonokoA6 Size (fits Planner and Original)

    This cover is based on the original Hobonichi smartphone app Dokonoko, which was designed for viewing and posting pictures of pets and animals.

    These Dokonoko icons were drawn by illustrator Ayumi Ohashi, who drew a great number of illustrations of dogs and cats for the Dokonoko app in addition to these icons. The lively little drawings are so cute, they made their way onto a cover because we want to carry these little critters everywhere.

    The cats and dogs scattered across the cover have all kinds of expressive faces to cheer you up just by carefully looking through them all. The cover is almost like a public square where all the animals come to gather, much like the app the design was created for.

    The deep blue colors against the bright yellow background is a color scheme that enlivens users of all ages. The cover material is made with cotton that’s warm to the touch. The Dokonoko logo on the interior pocket is also illustrated by Ohashi.

    About the Dokonoko App:

    In Dokonoko, you can connect with pets around the world by uploading pictures of your pets and animals you meet to the online collection of cute expressions and silly poses. It’s fun to look through all the photos, and feels almost as happy as being in a room filled with cats and dogs.

    The app features a local area function that allows you to get to know cats and dogs in your neighborhood. It’s almost like making new friends! This function is also very helpful if you ever lose your pet, as it provides a way to instantly alert nearby users.

    The best part of Dokonoko is that you don’t have to be a pet owner to use it; users are welcome to post pictures of cats and dogs they meet, as well as artwork, crafts, and other specifically animal-related pictures.

    Please Read Before You Buy

    In order to provide you with the most satisfaction for your product, we've compiled a list of warnings, potential issues, and tips to keep in mind for this particular product.
    Please be sure to read this information carefully before placing your order.

    All covers are hand-made and may contain slight variances

    Each and every cover is individually sewn by a factory worker hand-operating a sewing machine. Best efforts are made to ensure consistent sizes and specifications, but there may be slight differences.

    Design may contain smudges or uneven coloring

    During the print process, patterns may contain spots where the color has become smudged or uneven.

    Outer pocket pattern may not align perfectly

    The outer pocket is designed to align with the pattern beneath it, but pattern alignments may be imperfect due to the manual production process.

    Interior of cover may be loose

    The interior of the cover may not be perfectly taut due to limitations during the manufacturing process.

    Cover may attract dust

    The cover exterior contains a raised-nap finish that may attract dust or other particles. You can use a lint roller to clean the cover, but be sure to avoid using tape with excessively strong adhesive as this may damage the material.

    Sliding no-slip pens into the pen holder

    Pens with rubber, non-slip grips may be difficult to slide into the pen holder.

    Maximum pen width of 13.5mm for pen holder

    The pen holder is designed to perfectly fit the 12.2mm (0.48”) diameter Jetstream pen offered as a free bonus gift with select Japanese-version Hobonichi Web Shop products. Pens with certain shapes and materials may be difficult to pull through the holder. The holder can fit pens up to 13.5mm (0.53”) in diameter.

    “Cover Only” price change

    Due to an increase in material costs and other unavoidable factors, starting with the 2017-edition, it has become difficult to maintain the usual price of our Colors and Faux Fabric covers. In order to maintain the price of the covers, we will be offering these covers at the usual price when bought as a set with the Hobonichi Techo book. We apologize for the trouble, but when ordering the cover without a book, we will not be able to keep that price, so Cover Only orders will cost slightly more. Please add to your cart as a “Book & Cover set” to keep the cover’s lower price.

    Color may vary slightly based on viewing screen

    The color of the product may be slightly different in actuality than compared to how it appeared on a computer or smartphone screen.

    Avoid using with Cover on Cover

    The images printed on the cover may transfer onto a Cover on Cover. Please avoid using this cover with a Cover on Cover.
