This A6 notepad has 155 pages. The paper inside is blank except for a lightly printed illustration, and the pages are glued in instead of sewn, making them very easy to rip out for shopping lists or passing along messages.

This notepad cover’s illustration is by children’s book illustrator Ryoji Arai, and matches the 2021 cover I don’t think anyone knows it, but I’m always singing. It shows a blue bird all dressed up in a beret and necklaces. On the back cover, you’ll see that the bird has got her wings open, ready to fly.

Because this notebook is the same size as the A6 Hobonichi Techo books, it fits perfectly into A6 size planner covers.
