Hobonichi Folder Set by Ryoji Arai for A5 Size
This set of 2 see-through folders fits perfectly into the pockets of A5 size Hobonichi Techo covers. The folders can store receipts, clippings, and other items to help organize your desk, or carry tickets, postcards, checkbooks and other items you want to keep portable and accessible. The artwork is by children book illustrator Ryoji Arai.
The first folder matches the 2021 cover I don’t think anyone knows it, but I’m always singing. It shows a blue bird all dressed up in a beret and necklaces.
The second folder features artwork from the 2015 cover Some say the gate turned wishes into sound. In a festive town, a boy holding a guitar and a girl holding an accordion goes under a yellow gate with a rainbow over it. It’s as if you can hear the music projecting through the cover.
