2027 Hobonichi Accessories: Akiko Miyakoshi - Hobonichi Pencil Board for Weeks (Lazy Morning)

Akiko Miyakoshi is a picture book author and illustrator working largely in lithography, with a hushed palette of charcoal greys lifted by a single warm colour. Her books have been honoured with the Japan Picture Book Award, a Bologna Ragazzi Prize, and selection as a New York Times Best Illustrated Children’s Book. For 2027 she turns to travel — the window seat, the unfamiliar street, the moment you want to keep.

A piece Miyakoshi described as wanting to draw the fresh morning light. The reverse is a light blue she took from crisp morning air and the scent of clean sheets.

A pencil board sized to its techo, with a “Today” tab on the corner so it doubles as a bookmark. Slip it under the page you’re writing on for a firmer surface. Made for the Weeks.
