PREORDER: Hobonichi Techo 2027 Weeks MOTHER: Mr. Saturn Pattern

This is a collaboration techo with the SUPER Famicom™ game “MOTHER 2: Gyiyg Strikes Back!” (EarthBound in North America, released by Nintendo Co., Ltd. in 1994) and the Game Boy Advance™ game “MOTHER 3” (released by Nintendo Co., Ltd. in 2006) , for which Shigesato Itoi was the game designer.

Mr. Saturn is a character that appears in both of these games, and adorns the necktie material used on the cover of this techo.

The main material comes in an apricot hue to mimic the color of Mr. Saturn’s skin, and it’s dotten with images of Mr. Saturn’s face and trademark red ribbon.

You can see his round eyes peering at you over his big nose, so with this design you can look him right in his big cute eyes anytime.

The necktie material gives it some texture that’s pleasant to the touch, as well as a nice-looking sheen. Because it’s genuine necktie material, you can enjoy the exquisite texture of the weave and its silky luster.

The Mr. Saturns are known for their gentle nature, great intelligence, and pure hearts, making them a perfect fit for a techo where you can store the memories of your peaceful days.

The cover has been constructed as a light hardcover book with some give to it so it still bends.

Notes:

• The cover has a diagonal pattern in the weave that is much more noticeable in person than in the photos.
• The alignment of the pattern on the cover varies from one cover to another, and no two covers have exactly the same alignment.

• Because the paper is so smooth, ink will take longer to dry and may be more prone to smearing on Tomoe River paper than it is on typical notebook or copy paper.
