2027 Hobonichi Hon A5 Daily Planner | Hiroko Kubota: String Telephone Until the Moon is Full | English Edition

The HON series calendar in A5 format is adorned with original artwork by Japanese illustrator Hiroko Kubota, depicting an incredibly warm, nostalgic scene against the backdrop of a picturesque sunset. The cover shows a cat with closed eyes attentively listening to a tin can telephone conversation, and a wolf speaking to it tenderly from the other end of the string, along which a small mouse rides a unicycle. The year 2027 and the HON series logo on the front and spine are finished with a matte, silver foil that gently shimmers against the vast sky.
