This Unsodo cover features artwork selected from Bijutsukai, a design magazine published by Unsodo during the Meiji era, at the turn of the 20th century. Based in Kyoto, Unsodo was the only publisher of manual woodblock prints in Japan. The cover is made of durable polyester and includes two ribbon page markers, storage slots for cards and other small essentials, and two pen loops that keep the cover closed when a single pen is inserted through both. For additional protection, pair this cover with one of the cover on covers listed under Compatible Products.

Notes:

• This is a Japanese-language planner. All text including quotes and reference pages are in Japanese, but the planner pages use standard numerals to list the months and days, so anyone can use them.
• All Hobonichi covers are hand-made and may vary slightly.
• The interior of the cover may not be perfectly taut due to limitations of the manufacturing process.
• The pen loops hold pens up to 13.5 mm wide and may be stiff until they are broken in.
• Pens with non-slip grips may not fit well in the pen loops.
• Because the paper is so smooth, ink will take longer to dry and may be more prone to smearing on Tomoe River paper than it is on typical notebook or copy paper.
