Favourite art supplies and pen test for 2025 Hobonichi Techo
What supplies do I use to create an illustrated journal in my Hobonichi Techo? I'll go through some of the ins and outs of using the Tomoe River paper, and do a quick pen test to compare the 2024 and 2025 Sanzen paper in my Hobonichi Cousin (aka Gingham Hon).

The Porter Stroll Jr. is a Japan only item, so I took the opportunity to purchase it. There's also one particular type of HON that can be with a regular cover, so I try it out in the video.

came from instagram after seeing your posts ❤ really like your calm voice and all the lovely things you got ❤❤ and its always worth spending money on things that make us happy 🎉
thanks for watching the video! spend what you can afford, even if it means just a good notebook that suits you. 💖
I’m really enjoying your videos!!
Thanks for watching! 💖
So inspiring ✨ TFS 🤩
This is way off topic, but I really love your tshirt!! It's so flattering and just really cute; do you happen to remember where you got it😅? [LOVE your channel and ig btw, your journals are addictive!!]
I got it from Uniqlo a couple of seasons ago - hopefully they have something similar again! Thanks for checking out my channel and Instagram 💖
I like this kind of washi tape shelf 💕 wish they sold it here too (':
It's cute! I've seen it used for other things like small toys and figures as well. Maybe Amazon can ship it to you? www.amazon.com/World-MTC-01CF-Masking-Medium-Unbleached/dp/B08615G4R4?th=1
What's up Rachael! Love your style. 💜
Thank you so much! 💖
omg i absolutely love your videos, you are so engaged and know a lot, i just want to hear more from you !!! i have always had an admiration for hobonichi but this year i've decided to finally follow through, you've got me so inspired !
Thank you, I'm glad my videos were helpful! Enjoy your Hobonichi! 💖
I mostly write in my Cousin but I’d really like to add some drawings to my pages. Do you fill in your pages throughout the day or at the end of the day? Thanks for the inspiration and the tour of your supplies!
Thanks for your question! I usually do it at the end of the day, but often over several days in bits and pieces when I get time. That's why I need to keep notes in the weekly section about what happened that day since I forget 😅
I got so excited when you popped up in my notifications! I browsed through your Instagram and you inspired me to start drawing again. Thank you so much for the inspiration! 😊
That's so awesome to hear! 😊 I'm glad you are enjoying drawing 💖 Have fun!
I love how the hobonichi is filled with love. Thank you so much for sharing it. I love your drawings, they look so good.
Thank you very much! I really love drawing, time goes by so quickly when you're doing something you like 💖
This video was so helpful, I'm really enjoying these types of showcasing videos that you make! I think it would be fun to watch journal/paint with me silent videos, they might be easier to make more often as well. <3 Ps. do you ever use water in your drawings? Especially with Neocolours?
Thank you! 💖 Thanks for the suggestion also, I'll try making one of those videos soon! To answer your question, I can't say I use a lot of water in my drawings? I did a gouache painting once and had to use water to thin it out a bit. Otherwise I usually blend Neocolours in conjunction with markers rather than water. I like the texture they give so don't want to wipe it out with water.
I love your videos
Thank you! Thanks for watching.
Thanks for showing off your amazing journals.
You're welcome! I want to do an updated "all of my journals" video one day.
Omg catching your video early, yay!
Yay you're first comment! Thanks for watching!
@@astrocatdraws Oh no, I didn't see your comment! Thank YOU, I'm in love with your techos and have drawn (no pun intended) so much inspiration from them!
Hi! What is the name of the large green bag?
That one is the POTR Stroll: www.1101.com/store/techo/en/2025/pc/detail_cover/cc25_potrstroll/
I love your art and how you use your journal! So inspiring! I've been drawing more in my A6 Techo for October. Love watching your videos :)
I'm glad you enjoy the videos and are inspired to draw! 😊
your bangs are so cute

Thanks for showing your Hobonichi ! It was very inspiring.

Happiest Birthday to you! Even when a bit late! That’s a nice haul ❤ I really enjoyed to watch it!

Lovely video ✨ TFS 🥰

I love your journaling style! and your drawings! I’m obsessed. 🙌🏽
Thank you very much! I should do an updated video one of these days 💖
@@astrocatdrawsOoh yes!!
Happy birthday!!!! Love your items, especially the travel bag!
Thank you so much! 🎉 Yes the POTR case is definitely a unique design 💖
Happy Birthday! What a great present to yourself! I hope you enjoy using your new stuff. I’m very tempted by the POTR….
Thank you! 🎉 The POTR case is definitely fun to carry around 💖
I knew your unboxing was going to be THE best! Thank you for sharing and Happy Birthday!!!
Thank you! 🎂🎉 September is a great month 💖 Thanks for watching!
Great video! Awesome goodies! New sub 🙏
Thank you for the sub and glad you enjoyed the video! 💖
The HON fits in brown cover?? Omg really
Well technically the Black Gingham Hon (A5), which is closest to the Cousin in size!
Loved this unboxing! I have watched soooooo many so far, and I'm so happy to finally see the Unsodo tiles cover!! It's so pretty!!! Can't wait to get mine! As for the tabs, I've been using the Avery Mini Ultra Tabs 1" x 1.5". They're sturdy, and repositionable so you can even move them from planner to planner each year if you like. They fit perfectly on the A5 size pages and look really nice. :-)
The Unsodo Shin-Bijutsukai cover is really nice in person! Thank you for the Avery tabs tip, I'm gonna try those out :)
Great unboxing! Thank you!!
Thank you for watching, glad you enjoyed it!
So excited to watch this, got my large order yesterday and so happy with everything 🩵🩵🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻 thank you for making these videos
Thanks for watching! It's such an exciting time of year 💖
Hi! This is literally the best Hobonichi unboxing video on TH-cam right now. You have a lot of knowledge about what Hobonichi did in the past and it’s really interesting to know those differences in 2025’s lineup. You also have such a calm disposition and demonstrate what the covers look like on your techo. It’s also a refreshing change to see your face instead of a flat view like every other video out there. Great video. Enjoy all of your Hobonichi goodies! I’m still waiting on my order from Japan. Fed Ex has it, so hopefully I’ll have it in a few days. Have a good year!
Yes, what Sarah said..,👌🏼
Wow, thank you very much! 💖 I'm a longtime fan of Hobonichi and want to share what I appreciate about it with people. I was a little nervous about filming facing the camera but I thought it was the best way to communicate that. I'm glad you enjoyed watching the video! Hope your order arrives soon, and have a happy hobonichi year too 💖
thank you 💖
Hello… Das finde ich auch… ein gelungenes sehr hilfreiches Video.. vielen Dank dafür. Ich habe Hobonichi erst dieses Jahr kennengelernt und es ist toll was hier gezeigt wird. Viele Grüße aus Germany 😊 Alles Gute nachträglich zum Geburtstag 🎉
@@barbele.1183 thank you for the birthday wishes from your home country 💖 I'm glad you found the video helpful, enjoy your journaling days!
Your hobonichi collection is so nice! I like your stack of techos on the side haha
Thanks! I was thinking about how to fill up some space on either side of the frame 📚😉
My favourite is the dog cover! 🐕🐾🐾💙💙☀️
Do you mean the 2025 A6 original Keiko Shibata cover? Or the Tomomi Nishikawa dog cover from the 2024 range?
The dogs ears blowing in the wind one 💙🐕😆
@@dawnyWestScotland haha i see!😅 it goes with everything😀
Pretty blue check cover! ✂️☀️
I think the Unsodo cover is pretty too! 💖
I enjoy watching hobonichi hauls! Thanks for all the explanations and detailed looks 😍
It's a fun time of year 💖 glad you enjoyed the video and the little bits I added in!
Great Haul! Thanks for sharing! 😃
Thank you for watching! 💖
I really liked this, gave me inspiration for my craft room ✂️☀️
Thanks! I'm glad I could give you some inspo, hope your craft room is going well 💖
Such pretty covers! ✂️☀️ I’m new to Hobonichi and love it!
Thanks! Hobonichi is good fun, hope you enjoy your days with it! 💖
I love how fat and nice ur journal is, thats my goal for every journal of mine haha
Aren't they so satisfying? Even just using pen on the pages will puff it up a bit, that's a nice record building up day by day.
Nice choices! I got the Liberty Betsy and the pistachio Weeks but it was a tough decision. And I just got my order today! (My cat really enjoyed the plastic rustling content, btw!)
Hahaha that's so funny! 😸 My former cat would run a mile at the sight of a plastic bag. This year has so many choices that it is pretty tough to choose. Betsy is such a cute print, I got it as a Stappo a while back and it really brightens things up 💖
Your Hobonichi is a thing of beauty! I always love seeing your pages and looking at the art you create! 🥰
Thank you so much! 💖 Let's enjoy the coming year in our techos!
I really admire your Art. I wish we could create in the same space such as a journaling retreat or similar...such an inspiration 😊
Thanks! 💖 Oh gosh, that's really nice of you. Maybe if not in person, then maybe online? I'm thinking of doing something like that on Patreon but prerecorded as there's a big difference in timezones in Australia...
I ordered the Mina Perhonen pieces and the Yumi Kitagishi cover, both A5. Now you have me wishing I got this Mina Perhonen. 😊. Looking forward to your next video.
Oh lucky you! The Piece covers are really nice to touch. I had a hard time deciding between jellybeans + tambourine and piece. Thanks for watching my video! 💖
Yes to Minimaru coming to the rescue during the launch day drama! Your order is beautiful. I also ordered the Yumi Kitagishi cover and I got the padded mina perhonen one for this year because I can’t say no to cats. Here’s to another year of fun in your techo!
Aust Post and Minimaru to the rescue! In the end stock levels have been pretty good. Last year I couldn't get Little Gifts by Yumi Kitagishi at all and had to look on Mercari... Zipper covers are so cushy! Have a fun year in your techo too!
Hobonichi techo as pillow!! 😂😹💖 that is also my favourite 🤣now I have the language for what I like so much about the cushy covers! beautiful haul, and looking forward to seeing them house your beautifully fluffy and well-loved techos 🤩
Big book and cushy cover = dream combo 💖
Your pages are so beautiful to look at ❤ love the way you use your hobonichi!! ❤❤
Thank you! 💖 i like to make the pages as if I was making my own illustrated book! 💖
this is such a wonderful flip through, i LOVE your art and how you document in the cousin. I was always worried it would get too chunky - but the satisfying way you can see the whole year in one book may move me from the avec!
thanks a lot! 😊 chunky is ok, i used to carry my whole year around with me on public transport 😅 i've used avec in the past but it didn't feel right for me. you do you though! 💖
@@astrocatdraws haha wow! on PT is impressive, very heavy hehehe - I'm moving from the A6 to A5 this year for more space, maybe next year I will move from avec to whole year!
Where did you find your date stickers for your daily pages?😀
Hi! I make them myself. They're available as a Patreon download ☺
