Important Notes

Cover materials and exact weight vary depending on the selected design.

For fabric-covered designs, the placement of the printed or woven pattern may differ from one planner to another. This is a natural characteristic of the manufacturing process and means each planner may look slightly different.

Tomoe River paper is thin and smooth, but drying time and possible show-through can vary depending on the pen, ink quantity, and writing conditions. Hobonichi recommends testing unfamiliar inks first.
