Hobobichi Cover On Cover [Kanako Kagaya: Familiar Sights]

This is the decorated version of the Cover on Cover, an optional, extra covering that fits select Hobonichi Techo covers (for A5 size) to protect them from wear and tear while instantly giving solid-colour covers a fresh new look (not for use directly on book).

The design for Familiar Sights was created by designer and illustrator Kanako Kagaya.

The theme for this design is ‘wrapping paper for your techo‘. Drawn on the cover are many motifs that we often see in our day-to-day activities, from delicious food such as puddings and fried eggs to cute little things like dogs and cats, gloves, keys, steel towers, and traffic lights.

Take a close look, and you might find something you do not usually see daily.

The diagonal lines are printed in silver ink to give a cute yet elegant impression. It shines subtly with the angle change, which would make you happy every time you pick up your techo.

In order to preserve the design of this illustrated Cover on Cover, there is no opening located in the back to access the back pocket of the cover.
