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.
The Sushi pattern has many sushi lined up on a bright yellow cover. The pattern of the plates, which match the sushi items, is also expressed in detail with the necktie weave. The fabric used for neckties has a weave texture that is pleasant to the touch and has an appealing silky luster.
Tuna, salmon roe, shrimps, octopuses, horse mackerels, and eggs. The favorite sushi revolves one after another, creating a lively and happy pattern. The sea urchin sushi plate that appears here and there also has some “gari” pickled ginger on the side!
The book spine is foil-pressed in silver with the year 2025 and the HON logo for easy reference when placed in your bookshelf alongside other books.
The bookbinding on the HON has thread-stitch binding similar to the Hobonichi Techo Original, 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. This paper that underwent an overhaul with the 2024 edition techo is more resistant to bleed through, lighter despite being the same thickness, and has a smoother surface by adjusting the fibers of the paper.
The back of the book has bonus pages, including Sample Symbols and Icons, How to Have Fun Keeping a Diary, and Oodles of Noodles.
As a special exclusive only for the HON, this techo comes with a pencil board. The board is A6 size and 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.
The HON only comes as a January-start version.
