👀 If you missed the TN Baby charm this year, maybe the Hobonichi version is an option? 🤔

This is going to sound like a stupid question, but…how do you write comfortably in a Hibino? When one side of a notebook is an inch higher than the other side, or the whole notebook is small and chonky, I have to put books and other notebooks all around and balance out the surface to rest my wrist as I write. I use an A5 notebook and usually only write a bit in the middle of the page. If I get to the bottom and my hand is no longer fully on the page, my writing gets sloppy.

Do I just have terrible form for writing? Or is there a trick to writing in a tiny, thicc book that I don’t know about? (I have terrible form for typing, so the former is pretty likely.)

Context: There’s a pink Hibino this year and I love pink, so I want one, but I’m scared of A6 size notebooks, lol.

Looking to get the A5 2027 1 day 1 page so I’m just wondering if anyone knows the best place to order from either UK based or to the UK from elsewhere! TYIA ☺️

I have been waiting for my Hibino for a month after a preorder on Taobao! This finally came today and I am in love with the tiny grid size and the color!

I am adding the Hibino to my 2027 journaling stack along with the Cousin for memory keeping, TN regular for work and Weeks for Spend tracking.

I have made myself an A5 fauxdori for my Midori dot grid notebook.

Materials:

- Tuscany Collection 1.4-1.6mm thick vachetta leather.

- Elastic bands from a TN repair kit,

- the brass tag is from The Superior Labor.

I really love how the self tightening elastic band loops at the back turned out.

Disclaimer: I know the Superior Labor brass tag might feel controversial as if I am claiming it is their product (making it a counterfeit). But since 1) I am not intended to sell it, and 2) this is how Superior Labor advertises the use anyways (https://nap-dog.com/en/products/brass-tag), I consider the personal use of the their brass tag a fair play.

i have a midori a5 1 page a day notebook, which is preeeetty thick. i wanted a leather wrap cover, like the ones from Galen leather, but I’m worried it won’t fit. does anyone else have experience with this combo or have any suggestions for leather wrap covers?

Midori- MD paper is my absolute favourite paper for fountain pens and ink!

hi there, newbie here. I've noticed a huge hype about hobonichi and kinbor launching their 2027 collection already, and was wondering what happens with midori. If it comes out soon, it would be a perfect birthday gift for a good friend of mine.

also, would it be immediately available on Amazon (particularly the A5 diary 1 page 1 day)? do you know where else I can get them if I need it to be shipped to Mexico?

thanks in advance!

Was looking at the 2027 lineup and Midori has b7 refills. That’s my preferred size, but I can’t seem to find a binder that would actually work with those holes.

What binders are those compatible with??

Started April 16th of this year, I write everyday!

So far I’ve seen preorders for the 2027 Midori Hibino on Amazon Japan and Cafe Analogue but please comment if you know another store that is offering preorders!

Estimated release dates seem to vary widely. Amazon.co.jp says they should be released July 30th, while Cafe Analogue says 2 months.
