Quotes by Safety Match are often featured as daily quotes in our techo. You may have seen it printed on the box that we deliver the Hobonichi Techo in.

These quotes are like a proverb, a soliloquy, philosophical, poetic, allegorical… It’s rumored that these short phrases with a mysterious charm are from a book that only Shigesato Itoi has hidden away, but as a mystery since the first issue of “Hobo Nikkan Itoi Shinbun,” nothing more has been revealed about it. We wonder who it actually is? This B6 size notebook incorporates motifs based on the words of Safety Match.

There are four types: Graph, Lined, Dot Grid and Blank. They each have different quotes printed on them.

The pages on the inside not only have different lines but have designs linked to the quote. These notebooks are made with Tomoe River paper. While it is only 3mm thick, it has 80 pages so you’ll be able to write plenty. It’s made with stitch binding and the color of the thread is chosen for each front cover and acts as an accent. The B6 size perfectly fits the A5 Cousin size cover. These notebooks also comes in B7 size that fits perfectly in the A6 Original size cover.

The Dot Grid design is based on the following quote.

People’s eyes are fascinating things.
Up close, you can see the end of your nose, or the tips of your fingernails.
In the distance you can see the horizon, or even as far as the moon and the stars.
Ugly things, beautiful things, sometimes even hidden things.
You can see all that with the same pair of eyes.

Look closely and you’ll spot a star and moon within the dots. The dots on the pages are 5mm apart and printed in blue gray. The cover is a pale blue.
