The Bow & Tie series is covered with the same textured, shiny fabric used in neckties. The material has a beautiful gloss and is soft to the touch. On this Galloping Horses cover, a variety of horses—some galloping, some walking—are woven into a chic beige background. The horses spending their time in leisure are depicted in fine detail through the intricate weave of necktie fabric.
Among the many horses in different poses, you might spot one frolicking with a white bird.
The book spine is foil-pressed in gold with the year 2026 and the HON logo for easy reference when placed in your bookshelf alongside other books.
This design is also perfect for 2026, the Year of the Horse in the Chinese zodiac, making it a great choice for anyone looking for a lucky charm. With its motif of horses running free and wild, this cover is perfect for those looking to spend an active year.The bookbinding on the HON has thread-stitch binding similar to the Hobonichi Techo books, so it opens 180 degrees onto the table. It stays flat even if you don’t hold it down.
The book uses thin and light yet durable Tomoe River paper. It's characterized by its ability to hold ink well and provide a smooth writing experience.
The back of the book has bonus pages, including Memories 2026, 12 Switches to Help You Focus, and For a Comfortable Night’s Sleep.
As a special exclusive only for the HON, this techo comes with a pencil board. The board is clear, with 5mm grid lines printed across it. There are measurements printed along one side in 1mm increments, which allow for use as a ruler. It also has a pen holder attached to it where users can store pens by their clips.
