Hobonichi Clear Cover iyo okumi: Beatiful Season A5

The clear protective sleeve "iyo okumi: Beautiful Season" fits over your Hobonichi Cousin A5 cover like a second skin, shielding it from everyday wear — scratches, scuffs, and fingerprints. The transparent polyester material keeps the cover beneath completely visible: no design is hidden, no colour is distorted. The printed motif by iyo okumi — a delicate white embroidery illustration on a clear ground — adds a subtle winter mood to your cover without obscuring it.

Features

• Cover-on-cover construction: This sleeve is precisely sized for the Hobonichi Cousin A5 cover — with a butterfly-stopper closure. It slides directly over the cover, not over the bare planner alone.
• Motif by iyo okumi: Embroidery artist and illustrator iyo okumi designed the "Beautiful Season" motif. The illustration — snow-laden trees, a cosy jumper, winged figures by a fire — is printed in white ink on the transparent material, creating a delicate frost-crystal effect over every cover beneath.
• Personalisation space: Slip postcards, photos or small papers between the sleeve and cover — change the look whilst keeping your original cover untouched.
• Polyester (PE) material: Smooth, lightweight plastic that clings snugly to the cover without slipping. Holds its shape even with frequent opening and closing.
• Made in Japan: Precision craftsmanship — the sleeve fits millimetre-perfect and allows full use of all cover features, including the back pocket.

Use & Tips

• Correct use: This sleeve is designed exclusively for the Hobonichi Cousin A5 with a cover — cover-on-cover only. Without a Cousin cover underneath, it sits too loosely and won't offer proper protection.
• Compatible covers: Works reliably with Hobonichi Colors covers and printed Cousin A5 covers with butterfly-stoppers. Very thick or textured covers (such as leather or heavily padded materials) may be tight — check beforehand.
• Seasonal décor: The winter motif is particularly lovely from October through February — or whenever you want a calm, clear desk moment. Swap the sleeve anytime to suit your mood.
• Use the space inside: Slip a current postcard, favourite photo or small paper between the sleeve and cover to personalise your planner instantly — no glue, no permanent changes.

For Hobonichi Enthusiasts

iyo okumi works as an embroidery artist and illustrator; her designs begin as genuine hand embroidery before being digitally adapted for print products. White printing on transparent polyester is technically demanding: the ink must be opaque enough to show clearly on differently coloured covers, yet must not cloud the sleeve's transparency. The result is a motif that looks different depending on your cover colour — on dark covers like black or navy, the white lines glow distinctly; on light covers, the design appears almost like a watermark.
