The HON is the hardcover member of the Hobonichi family: a full daily planner with its cover built in, so there is nothing to slip on or take off and nothing to buy separately. This one is bound in the same woven necktie fabric the Bow & Tie series uses, softly glossy and pleasant under the thumb.
Sheep line up in a flock in even rows across a bright green ground, each one woven in enough detail to have its own character: some asleep, some mid-hop over a fence, a few on skateboards, and one with a pompadour. 2027 is the Year of the Sheep, which makes it the zodiac choice, as well as the comical one.
