Hobonichi A5 Cousin Book Planner / English version is available here

Published during the Meiji era (1868–1912), Bijutsukai and Shin Bijutsukai are treasured collections featuring exquisite craft designs by various pattern designers, Japanese-style painters, and talented artisans whose names may have been lost to time. These beautifully crafted books showcase the art of multicolor woodblock printing and were published by Unsodo, a distinguished Kyoto-based art publisher and the only house in Japan dedicated to producing hand-printed woodblock books.

For the cover, we’ve selected a design from Bijutsukai in a beautiful yellow color that catches the eye beautifully.

Wild Rabbits
The Cousin size Bijutsukai (Wild Rabbits) features rabbits nestled in a grassy meadow, facing this way and that, as if playing a gentle game of hide-and-seek. Rabbits have been traditionally cherished as symbols of longevity and prosperity, representing the flourishing of future generations. The white and black rabbits stand out beautifully against the rich colors of yellow, orange, and verdant green.

Flower
Large flowers resembling peonies are placed on a lattice background. The background colors, such as blue, light blue, and brown, create a calm yet bold impression. Combining the nuanced horizontal lines and clear vertical lines gives the design a mystical three-dimensionality and materiality as if it were made of tiles or colored glass. The flowers placed on top have an outstanding presence, even though they have slightly blurred colors and no outlines. This craft design has a novelty and sophisticated impression that is perfect for the A5 Cousin size.

Both Flower and Wild Rabbits have the butterfly stoppers that match with the cover designs.
