A cover inspired by Virginia Lee Burtons beloved picture book “The Little House”. Both the front and spine feature a design based on the clear sky blue from the original book cover. The interior is mint green, and the right-side pocket shows a lush summer scene with trees and crops in full bloom. It has “butterfly stopper” pen holders that also function as a clasp to keep the cover shut.

This Original cover will comfortably fit A6 notebooks with a spine of 0.5 inches (1.27cm) or smaller. Though it has the capacity to fit spines larger than 0.5in, the cover might have a tighter fit. Add a clear Hobonichi Cover on Cover to protect this cover from wear and tear and add extra space for storing photos, stickers, and postcards.

Please note: A6 and A5 covers in the 2026 April Start lineup are sold exclusively as sets with matching planner books and are offered only in the Japanese edition.
