Hobonichi Hon A6 2026 Hiroko Kubota: Waiting on the Chord

The Hobonichi Hon A6 Hiroko Kubota: Waiting on the Chord 2026 Daily Planner features the poetic and imaginative artwork of Hiroko Kubota. Set in a quiet, open landscape, this cover tells a gentle story of music, waiting, and feline grace.

On the keys of a piano, two cats sit on the note E: one white cat tenderly holds a red flower bud, while the other black cat quietly reads a book. They seem so close, as if just a little more would allow them to finally form a chord together. A lush green field stretches around them, carrying the scent of fresh grass, while a violin and a small blue bird wait patiently for the perfect moment to bring music into the air.

The front cover and spine are foil-pressed with 2026 in elegant silver, catching the light with a refined shine.

Inside, the HON offers all the hallmarks of the series: thread-stitch binding that opens fully flat at 180°, Tomoe River paper thin yet durable and fountain pen friendly, and a page-per-day layout to capture notes, plans, or illustrations freely.

In addition to daily pages, the planner includes yearly and monthly calendars, an index, and bonus pages such as Memories 2026, 12 Switches to Help You Focus, and For a Comfortable Night’s Sleep.

Exclusive to the HON series, this planner also comes with a clear pencil board featuring a 5 mm grid, millimeter ruler, and integrated pen holder.

A planner that turns each day into a quiet melody, guided by the delicate, narrative artwork of Hiroko Kubota.
