Hobonichi 2026 A6 Techo Book & Cover Set - Tolight: Garden of Botany (English)

Preview only - Launch Date: August 31st - 9 PM CST

A brand by the designer Mei Aoyama. The name “Tolight” comes from the words “try” and “light,” and expresses the desire to keep moving towards the light and continue facing challenges head on. With the concept of freedom as one has when drawing, the brand releases products with a focus on apparel that features drawings by the designer herself.

Contrasting the dark, soft plaid fabric, the printed flowers are bold and eye-catching, and look like they have been directly drawn onto the background.

The drawings of the flowers were specifically made for the Hobonichi Techo. The acrylic paint adds a vivid coloring, while the print also captures the delicate yet distinct brush strokes of the painting.

The cover interior comes in a muted beige. The pocket on the right side is decorated with two paintings of yellow flowers and buds, and the left side has a drawing of a white flower. The yellow and green ribbon bookmarks serve as accents.

High-quality polyester construction gives this cover its sturdy feel and subtle shine — it’s durable enough to last a long time but light enough to carry with you everywhere.

The “butterfly-stopper” pen holders act as a hinge, keeping the cover safely shut while you store a pen inside.

The cover contains two bookmarks, one with a rectangle charm and one with a triangle charm, so you can keep your place in two parts of the book, such as the monthly calendar and the daily page.
