Hobonichi A5 Cousin 2027 (Japanese)

The Cousin is the Original scaled up to A5, and the extra size changes what the book is for. A full page a day at this width takes work notes, a parenting diary or a shared journal, which is why many people keep it on a desk rather than carrying it.

It also has something the Original does not: vertical weekly pages, laid out as a timeline down the page, so a week can be planned by hour as well as recorded by day. Each daily page carries a quote at the foot, chosen from Hobonichi's own writing [in Japanese].
