2027 Planner: Yumi Kitagishi White Cat and Rabbit’s Tea Room HON / A5 Size

This is the Hobonichi Techo’s fourth collaboration with Yumi Kitagishi, an illustrator who has also been making a name for herself as a picture book author in recent years. This item marks the first time her work has been featured on a HON.

The HON is a hardcover techo with an integrated cover, centered on a one-page-per-day layout. Two works from Kitagishi’s Dollhouse series were chosen for the cover of the White Cat and Rabbit’s Tea Room.

A white cat waits at the front door, waving cheerfully in greeting, while the rabbits brew tea to serve alongside a slice of shortcake as a snack. They’re so adorable you can’t help but smile. The back cover features animals who live in a house made of books, all deeply engrossed in their reading — a fitting image for the HON. Delicate little flowers are scattered throughout, and on the spine, the year 2027 and a small white cat motif add a charming, well-placed accent.

The contents are the same as the Hobonichi Techo Cousin. The A5-size HON includes vertical weekly pages, allowing you to plan each week on a two-page spread.



Like the Hobonichi Techo, the HON features thread-stitched binding, so it opens flat at 180 degrees and stays that way — no need to hold the pages down.




The pages are made of thin and light yet durable Tomoe River paper that holds ink well, providing a smooth writing experience.







The back of the techo contains bonus pages like My 100, Favorites, and the 365 Days Check-Off Sheet, alongside new additions like Phrases to Break That Writer’s Block, Hard-to-Translate Japanese Words, and the Hobonichi’s Neighborhood: Kanda/Jinbo-cho Map.
