Hobonichi TSUKI no IRO: Translucent Sticky Notes
TSUKI no IRO – Hobonichi's own colour world, translated into elegant planning tools. This set contains 12 transparent adhesive strips made of polypropylene, their width precisely matched to the calendar boxes in the monthly overview of the Hobonichi Techo Original. All 12 strips come in a flat case with colour slot windows that fits neatly into the Techo cover pocket.
Features
- Perfect width for the monthly grid: The strips are sized to match the width of Hobonichi Techo Original monthly boxes – appointments can be blocked cleanly without overlapping lines or spanning boxes.
- Translucent PP material: Polypropylene lets light through; text and existing entries underneath remain legible. Colour and information overlay without obscuring each other.
- 12 coordinated colours: The tones correspond to the twelve monthly colours of the TSUKI-no-IRO series – a cohesive colour system that doubles as a category or month legend.
- 40 strips per colour: 480 adhesive strips total – enough supply for a full planner year with generous room for repositioning.
- Slim case (40 × 110 × 4 mm, 10 g): The slot windows make all 12 colours visible at a glance; the case slides flat into the pocket of a Techo cover.
Use & Tips
- Colour-coded schedule blocking: Assign a unique colour to each category – work, personal, sport, travel – and fill time blocks in the monthly grid with them. A clear overview emerges without a single mark.
- Moveable date markers: If a date changes, simply peel off the strip and reposition it. PP adhesive strips can be repositioned multiple times without leaving residue.
- Transparent highlighting: Place strips directly over handwritten entries to highlight them in colour – the text beneath remains completely legible through the translucent material.
- Legend strips on the page edge: Position one strip per category on the outer margin of the monthly page and label it – creating a colour-coded edge margin legend.
- Keep the case handy: The flat case fits in the transparent pocket of many Techo covers and sits right at your calendar at all times.
For Planner Enthusiasts
PP adhesive strips adhere via a microstructured adhesive layer that leaves no residue on paper when removed – an important consideration with Tomoe River paper, which is sensitive to residue. The translucent tint of the strips is deliberately subtle: colour is perceptible without breaking the contrast of handwritten entries. If you write on the strips themselves with fine nibs or gel pens, fast-drying inks are preferable, as PP surfaces don't absorb ink and smudging can occur.
