Junji Ito teams up with Hobonichi for new “Tomie” stationery line
Popular Japanese planner and stationery brand Hobonichi has announced its first-ever collaboration with the legendary horror manga artist, Junji Ito.
The new collection features a line of planner covers and accessories decorated with artwork from Ito’s debut and most famous work, the manga series Tomie.
Hobonichi Techo is a best-selling line of daily planners that has cultivated a massive international following for its high-quality paper, minimalist design, and highly customizable format.

This new collaboration brings the unique and unsettling world of the manga to a range of Hobonichi’s products for its 2026 lineup.
The collection features three different planner covers, one weekly planner, and a line of horror-themed stationery.
