KOKUYO's commitment

Your planner (we call it a “techo” in Japanese) stays in your life for the whole year or longer. It’s where you jot down ideas, make notes, look back at the past. All this activity takes place on a stage called “paper.”

The JIBUN_TECHO is made with KOKUYO original papers that are firm and smooth to write on. And because they’re designed to be carried around, they’re very lightweight. Having listened carefully to the needs expressed by our users, we created the JIBUN_TECHO notebook range using KOKUYO original papers we call “THIN” and “MIO.”

THIN PAPER／MIO PAPER

JIBUN_TECHO planners are made using two kinds of paper.

THIN PAPER
MIO PAPER

Special features of THIN paper

Stays flat even when you rub out erasable ballpoint ink

Low show-through

Thin and lightweight

Comparable with Tomoe River paper in terms of lightness

"THIN PAPER" is KOKUYO's original paper specially developed for JIBUN TECHO.
Thin yet strong, it resists warping even when you erase ballpoint ink. A pleasure to write on and resistant to bleed-through, it combines portability with writability.

MIO is KOKUYO's proprietary paper - so smooth and supple that planning becomes a pleasure. Despite being thin, it helps reduce ink bleed-through, making it ideal for detailed scheduling and extensive note-taking in your planner. Quick-drying ink prevents smearing, keeping your plans neat and organized.
