Hobonichi Memo Pad Set for Techo A6

The Hobonichi Memo Pad Set for the Techo A6 comprises three slim notepads on Tomoe River paper – the same paper used in the Techo itself. Each of the three notepads is slightly smaller than the A6 planner and fits perfectly into the rear pocket or inner compartment of an A6 cover. The 3.7 mm grid pattern matches the Techo Original layout exactly, allowing removed pages to integrate seamlessly into the planner layout.

Features

• Tomoe River Paper: Thin yet tear-resistant – each notepad stays just 2 mm thick at 48 pages. It barely adds weight in the cover, but makes a noticeable difference when writing: fountain pens, fineliners and gel pens glide smoothly, and ink dries without feathering.
• 3.7 mm Grid Pattern: The same grid as the Techo Original – notes, sketches and tables blend visually directly into the planner pages when a sheet is glued in.
• Perforated Pages: Each sheet can be cleanly and neatly removed – for sharing, gluing or as a standalone note.
• Precise Dimensions: Slightly smaller than A6, so removed pages fit flat on a planner page without overlapping.
• Three Colours: Grey, light blue and yellow – allowing colour-coding by topic, project or day of the week.
• Booklet Binding: Compact block binding, lies flat in your hand and in the cover.

Use & Tips

• Store in Cover: One notepad fits in the outer pocket of the A6 cover, one in the inner compartment – so you always have writing materials at hand without leaving the planner.
• Use Colour-Coding: Use the three colours to separate different areas: e.g. grey for work, yellow for personal notes, light blue for ideas.
• Incorporate Pages: Removed sheets are smaller than a Techo page and can be glued directly or fixed with washi tape – ideal for research notes, lists or drafts that you want to keep permanently in the planner.
• Writing Instruments: Tomoe River paper works well with fountain pens and ink-based writers. With heavily nib-saturating fountain pens and very dark inks, a short drying time is recommended before stacking pages. Ballpoints, fineliners and pencils work without issue.
• Use Standalone: The format – just 14 × 9.6 cm, 2 mm thin – fits any trouser pocket and serves as a standalone notepad format without the planner.

For Techo Enthusiasts

The grid on the memo pads measures exactly 3.7 mm – identical to the Techo Original grid pattern. If you remove pages and glue them into the planner, you achieve consistent writing without breaks in the layout. The Tomoe River paper used is not archive-quality in the archival sense: water-based inks (fountain pens, brush pens) can blur when exposed to moisture. For permanent entries with archival character, pigmented, water-resistant inks are recommended. The perforation line sits close to the top edge, so removed sheets retain their full usable area.
