The HON Bow & Tie series techos are wrapped in the same textured, shiny fabric used in neckties. The material has a beautiful gloss and is soft to the touch.
The Sheep Sheep Sheep design features a flock of adorable sheep arranged in even rows on a vibrant green cover. Their fluffy, rounded silhouettes are woven in rich detail with necktie fabric, giving each and every sheep its own personality.
Some sheep are sleeping soundly. Some are leaping over a fence with a little hop. Some are zipping along on skateboards. And if you look closely, you’ll even spot a sheep with a pompadour.
The sight of each sheep living life on the farm just as it pleases is sure to put a smile on your face every time you pick up your techo to use it. This design is also perfect for 2027, the Year of the Sheep in the Chinese zodiac, making it a great choice for anyone looking for a lucky charm.
The cover has been constructed as a light hardcover book with some give to it so it still bends.
The book uses thin and light yet durable Tomoe River paper. It's characterized by its ability to hold ink well and provide a smooth writing experience.
The bookbinding on the HON has thread-stitch binding similar to the Hobonichi Techo books, so it opens 180 degrees onto the table. It stays flat even if you don’t hold it down.
The back of the techo contains bonus pages.
The English edition features standard favorites like My 100, Favorites, and the 365 Days Check-Off Sheet, alongside new additions like Phrases to Break That Writer’s Block, Hard-to-Translate Japanese Words, and the Hobonichi’s Neighborhood: Kanda/Jinbo-cho Map.
