Hobonichi Techo Accessories Keiko Shibata - Graph Notebook - Who is it?
The Hobonichi Graph Notebook was introduced in 2019 for those looking for a standard notebook with the same comfortable writing experience as the Hobonichi Techo. This edition features artwork by beloved picture book author and illustrator Keiko Shibata.
The “Who is it?” design captures a charming everyday moment as a group of cats notice a visitor arriving at their home. Some peek through the doorway while others watch from outside the window, creating a playful scene full of curiosity and personality. The warm oil-pastel artwork gives the cover a cozy, storybook feel.
The back cover is bright red, echoing the front door in the illustration, and features Keiko Shibata’s signature.
Inside, the notebook uses thin yet durable Tomoe River paper and opens completely flat for comfortable writing and drawing. The 3.7 mm graph paper matches the grid used in the Hobonichi Techo Original. The page ink color changes every 72 pages, rotating through red, blue, green, and purple, making it easy to organize different sections or quickly find past notes.
The notebook is a wonderful companion to a Hobonichi Techo, or a versatile standalone notebook for writing, journaling, sketching, and everyday notes.

If you prefer UPS, you can usually pay duties on your own to bypass the brokerage fee.
