Hobonichi Pencil Board A6 - Yumi Kitagishi: In the Room

Estimated to ship mid-October

The pencil boards, which feature illustrations by Yumi Kitagishi and resemble scenes from picture books, come in three sizes: A6 size, A5 size, and Weeks.

The A6 size features two cats in a colorful and joyful room full of their favorites, including the interior, clothes, and stuffed animals. The back side has a blue background with a small window.

The A5 size depicts animals spending their time in the garden. You can see that there is a lot of cake on the table, and everyone looks so happy. The back side has a background in gentle pink.

The title for the Weeks size is “Animal Condo.” It portrays a red-roofed apartment building where unique animals live. The back side is bright yellow-green with the same building as the front side.

Each design is like a fairy tale scene that makes you imagine what the story would be like.

One side is labeled by millimeter to act as a metric ruler, and a “Today” tab on the corner marks the current page if you’d like to use it as a bookmark as well.

They’re great for using together with techo covers and Weeks featuring Yumi Kitagishi’s illustrations.
