Hobonichi Tamagotchi: Tamagotchi Techo Discovered (A5)
The Hobonichi A5 cover "Tamagotchi Techo Discovered" is crafted from densely woven polyester and features a pixel art print in the iconic Tamagotchi style: characters, food icons, little hearts and the familiar details from the beloved digital pet universe of the '90s. Two pen loops in butterfly pen holder style close the cover while holding up to two writing instruments ready at hand. The format is designed for the Hobonichi Techo Cousin in A5 size.
Features
- Butterfly Pen Holder as closure: The two pen loops are laid over the book edge and secure the cover when closed – a simple mechanism without magnetic closure or elastic band that keeps the planner flat.
- Pixel art print: The print displays Tamagotchi characters, snacks, hearts and other motifs from the Tamagotchi universe in vibrant retro style printed directly onto the fabric – the print is not covered by an additional clear protective layer.
- Densely woven polyester: The material feels substantial in hand, doesn't fray and resists everyday contact in bags or rucksacks better than simple cotton weaves.
- Two pen loops: Space for two pens – perhaps a thinner liner for sketches and a broader fine-tip pen for writing, without the cover adding bulk.
- Dimensions 228 × 337 × 3 mm: The cover sits snugly on the book and feels sleek in the hand thanks to its slim profile, even when the Cousin is fully equipped.
Use & Tips
- Perfect fit for Techo Cousin (A5): This cover is tailored to the A5 format of the Hobonichi Techo Cousin – not for the smaller Techo Original in A6 format.
- Cover on cover: To protect the pixel art print, you can apply a transparent cover on cover – this keeps colours vibrant with intensive use.
- Pen selection: The butterfly loops accommodate slim pens up to approximately 10–11 mm diameter, such as fine-tip pens, thin ballpoints or slim fountain pens without clip collars.
- Everyday companion: The polyester fabric can be wiped clean with a slightly damp cloth – fingerprints and light stains are easily removed without damaging the print.
- Retro-themed setup: The cover pairs beautifully with pixelated stamp art, solid-colour washi tapes and pastel-coloured pens – perfect for a cohesive bullet journal layout in '90s style.
For Hobonichi Enthusiasts
This cover is part of the official Hobonichi × Tamagotchi collaboration with Bandai Namco. Pixel art on textiles is craftsmanship-intensive: the small motif areas must be transferred sharp and colour-accurate to the woven substrate without fraying at the fabric edges. The densely woven polyester provides a more uniform print surface than coarser weaves. If you collect multiple Hobonichi generations, you can reuse this cover independently of the interior – the Cousin cover shape remains consistent from year to year.
