This cover design is made in collaboration with an artwork by picture book author and illustrator Keiko Shibata.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e“Who is it?” depicts cats noticing the sound of a guest that has come to their house and staring at the front door from the room door and even from outside the window. Are the cats in a welcoming mood, or are they trying to see if they can let the guest inside?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eA unique scene from their daily life is rendered with a warm touch of oil pastel.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe back cover is as red as the door, with Keiko Shibata’s autograph printed.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe notebook has thin and durable Tomoe River paper and opens completely flat. It comes in A5 size to match the Cousin. The notebook is 10mm thick and contains 288 pages. This gives you plenty of space to fill the notebooks to your heart’s content.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe 3.7 millimeter graph paper is the same as that of the Hobonichi Techo Original. The color of the ink on the page changes (red \/ blue \/ green \/ purple) every 72 pages in the A5 size. This makes it easy to split the book into several themes or use the colors as a way to more easily find old entries.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBecause the book sizes match the A5 Cousin Hobonichi Techos, you can use these notebooks with a techo cover. The cover is great for storing items like pens or sticky notes, and provides a very convenient user experience.
