About

Welcome to Almost Every Month Podcast–ほぼ毎月のポッドキャスト (Hobo maitsuki no poddokyasuto)–A podcast about all things ephemera—journals, planners, pens, paper, ink and more. In this first series, I delve deeply into the wildly popular Hobonichi planners and all the culture that surrounds them—from the storied history of its founder Shigesato Itoi, to the cottage industries and influencers that have sprung up around it.
