Hobonichi Pocket Planner 2027 Weeks Moomin: A Day in the Life of Snufkin (engl.)

The Hobonichi Pocket Planner 2027 Weeks "A Day in the Life of Snufkin" showcases Tove Jansson's Moomin universe on a deep green tie-cloth cover, with Snufkin embroidered as he goes about his daily wanderings. The slim, portrait-format Weeks layout fits into any jacket pocket and offers a writing area on each page roughly equivalent to an A6 sheet. Inside, the planner uses cream Tomoe River paper – thin, lightweight and designed for all types of ink.

Features

• Tie-cloth cover in dark green: The semi-rigid hardcover is made from glossy tie-cloth fabric, whose characteristic weave texture makes the embroidered Snufkin illustrations stand out with particular clarity and dimension.
• Cream Tomoe River paper: Despite its delicate thinness, this paper is remarkably tear- and bleed-resistant. Fountain pen inks, gel pens and fine fineliners flow smoothly across the smooth surface with no feathering. Inks with sheen or strong shading effects show their full character particularly well.
• Thread binding with 180° lay-flat function: The sewn binding allows the planner to open completely flat – even when both covers are folded back. This makes a real difference in daily use when one hand holds the pen and the other carries something else.
• Weekly layout with grid note page: Each spread shows the week planner on the left (Monday start) and a blank grid page on the right (3.55 mm). The grid consists of dashed lines that recede into the cream background, keeping your writing clear.
• Monthly overviews and bonus pages: Includes monthly calendars, year overviews for 2026, 2027 and 2028, 75 blank grid pages and daily habit tracking.
• English edition: The interior follows the standard design of the English edition – all text, quotes and page labels in English.
• Year embossing: The year 2027 is embossed on the cover in the characteristic Moomin typeface.

Use & Tips

• Fountain pens and water-based inks: Tomoe River paper takes fountain pen inks well, though drying times are longer than on calendered papers. A blotter sheet between pages prevents smudging when turning quickly.
• Gel pens and fineliners: Fine to medium line weights (0.3–0.5 mm) work with particular precision on the smooth surface. Quick-drying gel refills significantly reduce waiting time.
• Weekly page as bullet-journal base: The left weekly column can serve as a horizontal daily log, while the right grid page accommodates sketches, mind maps, lists or more detailed notes – without needing a separate notebook.
• Clear corner pocket: The included self-adhesive clear pocket can be attached to the front or back endsheet and holds sticky notes, sticker sheets or loose papers.
• Two ribbon bookmarks: Allow you to keep both your current week and a frequently used reference page (such as the monthly overview) easily accessible at the same time.
• Matching accessories: Hobonichi offers matching covers and writing pads for the Weeks that further enhance the writing experience and protect the cover.

For Calligraphy and Planner Enthusiasts

Tomoe River paper reacts to heavily pigmented or shimmering fountain pen inks with pronounced shading and – depending on the ink – visible sheen on the reverse. This is unusual on a weekly planner and makes the Weeks a stage for ink experiments that wouldn't stand a chance on ordinary planner paper. The 3.55 mm grid line is fine enough to work neatly between the lines even with a fine nib without the grid overwhelming your writing. If you write with a stub nib, the blank grid page on the right gives you plenty of space for expressive thick and thin strokes. Oil-based ballpoint refills and pigment-based fineliners are archival; fountain pen inks with dye bases are generally not archival.
