Hobonichi Stencil Travel

The Hobonichi Stencil Travel is a thin acrylic stencil specially designed for the Hobonichi ecosystem. The 3.7 mm grid spacing corresponds exactly to the dot grid of the Techo Original and Cousin – symbols land precisely on the grid without guesswork or correction. The stencil features an outline of Japan plus symbols for hot springs, fireworks and other travel and holiday motifs.

Features

• 3.7 mm grid design: matches the dot spacing of the Techo Original and Cousin – symbols fit seamlessly into the grid, no freehand estimation required
• Japan outline as stencil shape: ideal for travel routes, holiday overviews or origin markers directly in the planner
• Symbols for hot springs (onsen) and fireworks: characteristically Japanese travel motifs suited to travel journal entries, bucket lists and annual overviews
• Additional travel and holiday symbols: versatile for daily planning, weekly reviews and bullet-journal spreads
• Dimensions 63 × 94 × 0.5 mm: sized to fit the inside pockets of the Techo – sits flat without warping the pages
• Thin acrylic: lightweight, clear material with smooth edges – pen or fineliner glides smoothly along the stencil wall without catching

Use & Tips

• Work with a 0.38 or 0.5 mm fineliner: the stencil cutouts are small, and fine tips produce clean symbols
• Use the Japan outline as page decoration or for travel-route spreads – the outline proportionally suits a Techo weekly spread well
• Use the onsen and fireworks symbol as legend markers in your yearly calendar: consistent marking for travel highlights at a glance
• Align the stencil with the pre-printed grid dots – the 3.7 mm grid of the stencil aligns with the Techo grid and produces geometrically uniform symbols
• For travel journals: add symbols in watercolour or brush pen after outlining with fineliner
• Store in the inside pocket of the Techo Original or Cousin – the stencil stays within reach without thickening your planner

For Techo Enthusiasts

The 3.7 mm grid spacing is no accident: it is the dot spacing that all Hobonichi stencils are designed to, so symbol edges and grid dots align perfectly. Combining multiple stencils from the series gives you a consistent symbol system that works across different Techo models – provided the paper carries the 3.7 mm grid, meaning Original or Cousin. The same grid spacing applies to the A6 format of the Techo Original and the A5 format of the Cousin, making the stencil universally usable between both formats.
