Hobonichi TSUKI no IRO: 12 Month Index Pockets
The Hobonichi Techo divides the year into 12 months – each printed in its own gentle colour. The TSUKI no IRO register pockets capture exactly these 12 monthly tones: a set of index tabs and small paper pockets that can be sewn or glued in at the start of each month in the Techo. Paper, minimal design, Japan.
Features
- 12 monthly tones as a colour system: Each tab and pocket carries one of the 12 Hobonichi monthly colours – soft, muted tones that correspond precisely to the colour printing of each Techo month. This creates a visually cohesive system that integrates organically into the calendar.
- "Remember This" page as anchor: The tabs are designed for the blank opening page at the beginning of each month – the so-called "Remember This" page. They can be glued there as a monthly index or goal card and remain bound within the notebook.
- Dual function: The tab holds handwritten notes – monthly goals, important dates, page references for entries you'll want to find later. The pocket behind it stores small inserts: tickets, cut-out notes, photographs or folded memos.
- Paper as material: The entire series is made from paper – flat, lightweight and plastic-free. The set measures 141 × 85 mm with a depth of 18 mm and weighs 46 g.
- Made in Japan: Produced and finished in Japan by Hobonichi.
Use & Tips
- As a monthly index: Glue one tab per month onto the "Remember This" page, note page numbers and keywords – creating a handwritten index that's instantly accessible when flipping back.
- For monthly goals: Write three to five plans on the tab at the month's start. The month's colour makes the transition visually apparent without needing extra decoration.
- Pocket as mini-archive: Receipts, stamps, small photographs or folded to-do notes go into the pocket – organised by month, without weighing down the notebook.
- Pairs with TSUKI no IRO accessories: The colour palette matches other TSUKI no IRO products in the Hobonichi range. Combining multiple items from the series gives you a consistent colour system throughout the entire book.
- Usable beyond the Techo: As a bookmark pocket in other A6 notebooks or as a colour-sorted card file for loose notes – the dimensions fit many compact formats.
For Techo Enthusiasts
The Techo doesn't choose its monthly colours at random – they follow an established annual cycle that repeats from volume to volume. The TSUKI no IRO series (月のいろ, literally: "colours of the moon") is conceptually built around this system: accessories that speak the same language as the calendar itself. The register pockets are the most tactile element of the series – paper you write on, fold and fill, without digital equivalent. For anyone who sees the Techo not just as a planner but as a physical archive of the year, these pockets bridge the gap between monthly pages and loose inserts.
