Hobonichi Graph Notebook A5 – Keiko Shibata: Who is she?

The Hobonichi Graph Notebook faithfully reproduces the features of the Hobonichi Techo—the same Tomoe River S paper, the same 3.7 mm grid—in an undated notebook. Its cover features an oil pastel illustration by Keiko Shibata: cats have heard the doorbell and are watching the entrance from the hallway and even through an outside window. Are they in a welcoming mood, or are they hesitant to let the visitor in? The spine is bright red, like the door, with the artist's signature printed on it.

Despite its 288 pages of Tomoe River paper, the notebook is only 10 mm thick. The color of the grid ink changes every 72 pages (red, blue, green, purple) to make organizing by theme or locating past entries easier. In A5 size, it is compatible with all Hobonichi Techo A5 Cousin covers.

Ideal as a companion to a Hobonichi Techo, or for use as a sketchbook, notebook, or for journaling.
