I am so glad I found your video. I was hesitating to get this cover but I am not anymore 😂; thanks a lot for the push 😉! I am going to order it right away 🎉😊
Nice video of this gorgeous cover. I use an A5 cousin with the midori clear cover on it. Do you think there is room to slide the Cousin in if it has a clear cover on it? Also does that leather scratch easily?
That's a really good question, I don't have a Midori clear case so I'm not too sure. As far as scratching, mine seems to be just fine - it collects fingerprints but wipes clean very easy!
It really is even more stunning in person. I can't put it down. It feels somewhere in between some long lost magical planner and also a super lush adult, timeless planner. The craftsman ship is top notch!
I really like the layout of these planners, but I have a hard time using my favorite gel pens on paper. Do you find the sarasa pens work well in that book? In 2021 I had a Cousin and the Signo pens I love really bugged me so I switched to the Jibun techo but I really miss the layout of the cousin
I really love the Sarasa .5 Vintage pens - I do have to be mindful as they take a moment to dry, but I've been using them for almost 2 years now with no problem :) I use the .5 vintage colors but they do have Sarasa Nanos which are are .3 which dry much faster as well.
@@MyPersonalPlayground I used to get so frustrated by the smears in my Hobonichi but I also just find the writing experience unpleasant with gel pen but I’m seriously missing having one so I’m not sure if it’s worth putting up with. Do you think the new S paper is really any different. Some people were saying it was drying faster but others say no difference
@@tompov227 Based on your question, I just decided to do a quick video where I conduct a smear test using the Sarasa Grand Vintage .5 gel pen on both the old and new Hobonichi paper. It's uploading now - but I will say the results shocked me!!!
Hahaha! I love that - I try but I actually feel like it gets pretty messy, lol 😂 I’m not a decorator when it comes to my planner (stickers, etc). I mostly always use each entry trying to improve my handwriting. I enjoy using different color pens and neutral highlighters. I also always sleep it in my cover. So not super exciting, but it works for me! 😀
I’ve been so curious about this cover. Thanks for showing how the cousin fits and describing the feel of the cover. It’s absolutely gorgeous and I now know that it will work for me. I’m definitely ordering this one. Thanks again.
I get that! They are premium, for sure. Keep an eye out on the buy/sell/trade groups on Facebook, I've seen several pop up there only slightly used with some really great deals!
I love the Hobonichi philosophy. The bag is a rice ball with a plum center. I got an A5 cousin plus the Twinkle Shells cover. You will like the A5 notebook. I use that one for reading notes.
Hobonichi has become such a personal favorite. So creative, and quality and the playfulness makes me happy. Your twinkle shells cover is pretty adorable!!
I got the plum veg tanned leather from Moterm for my Hobonichi Cousin 2024 and I absolutely love the color and texture of the leather. Also got a Pilot Custom 74 fountain pen in transparent wine red with Diamine ink in Writer's Blood. I am so looking forward to getting started with my new planner and pen.
I'm getting this cover to use for my A5 art journal. Its gorgeous and looks very high quality!
It really is! I hope you love it!

Ohh, that's exciting! Congrats - I am loving it! It really is even more beautiful in person.
❤ so beautiful!
Thanks so much for watching!
Did your Taut not come with a matching Bordeaux leather bookmark? I thought I saw one included in demo videos prior to launch.
Yes, it did, I show it briefly at the end of the video, I had sat it aside and completely forgot about it lol

I am after the exactly same setup. That cover looks so lush.

Thanks so much for watching. Video truly does not capture the beauty of this one. I can't put it down - I hope you love it!
I love that cover. They are just sooo incredibly expensive though. I'm on a budget journey so I'm going to have to pass 😅

Its a japanese rice ball called onigiri!
Thanks so much :) Now I know - love it!

Ohhh, yes, so much fun to get started fresh and now I'm off to google your pen and ink! "Writer's Blood' sounds so intriguing!
Yayay for planner haul!! ❤
