Hobonichi Pencil Board - Yumi Kitagishi - 2026

Among Hobonichi’s most popular accessories, the Pencil Board makes writing smoother by preventing pen slip and page indentations. Perfectly sized for each Techo book, it fits neatly under the page you’re writing on for a more comfortable experience.

This series features enchanting picture book–style illustrations by Yumi Kitagishi, available in A6, A5, and Weeks sizes:

• A6 - In the Room - Two cats in a colorful, cozy room filled with favorite things; blue-backed design with a small window.
• A5 - In the Graden - A cheerful garden party scene with animals enjoying cake; pink-backed design.
• Weeks - Animal Condo - A red-roofed apartment of quirky animal residents; yellow-green back with the same building.

Each board has a fairy tale charm, includes a “Today” tab for bookmarking, and features millimeter markings to double as a ruler. They also pair beautifully with Yumi Kitagishi’s Hobonichi covers and Weeks editions.
