Hobonichi Techo A6 Keiko Shibata Inoue Couple Bus Business Planner Cover 2027

Product Description

Bring a warm and playful illustration to your everyday planning with the Inoue Couple Bus Business Planner Cover 2027, featuring artwork by Japanese picture-book artist Keiko Shibata.

The artwork was originally created as part of a series for Shibata's 2017 solo exhibition. It depicts the Inoue couple sitting happily in the driver's and passenger's seats of a bright red bus traveling across an open field. Where could they be heading? The simple scene invites the imagination and adds a charming sense of story to the cover.

The original artwork was created with oil pastels, and the cover is printed on textured polyester fabric to preserve the warmth and character of the hand-drawn artwork. Subtle variations in the artwork's colors and brushwork give the illustration a distinctive handmade feel.

Bright red piping runs around the edge of the cover, framing the artwork like a picture frame. The interior features a soft ivory tone, while the two ribbon bookmarks are finished with round black charms inspired by bus tires.

Keiko Shibata's signature is printed on the left interior pocket, adding a personal detail to the design. This A6 cover is a cheerful choice for anyone who enjoys illustrated stationery, Japanese picture books, and playful everyday designs.
