2025 Hobonichi COVER A6: Naoki Ishikawa -Denali in the Midnight Sun #1

Hobonichi

*This is for a COVER only.

This cover features a photograph of Denali, North America’s highest peak, as taken by Naoki Ishikawa.

This photo, capturing the full extent of Mount Denali at 6190 meters above sea level, was taken from inside a Cessna heading towards base camp for the summit. The view of the mountain composed of deep blue and white looks like a watercolor painting at a glance. This photograph is processed with cyanotype, which is a photographic process that involves a chemical solution and exposure to UV light. The appeal in this design comes from the brush marks that let you see where the solution was applied.

In 2016, Ishikawa climbed Denali all by himself. During a season close to the midnight sun, he diligently kept climbing while bathed in the sunlight, amidst the blue and white landscape. He depicted that scenery more impressively in Denali in the Midnight Sun #1. The photograph is fully printed on this techo cover. 

The butterfly-stopper pen holders, cover interior and bookmarks are all in a calming navy to match the blue of the photograph. The name of the piece and the photographer are printed in silver on the pocket.

This is an unavoidable aspect of the manufacturing process.
  • Cover may contain variations in stitching or loose lining. Due to the structure of the cover that opens flat 180 degrees, exterior stitching areas may appear puckered and lining material may be loose.
