Bring a warm and heartfelt story to your everyday planning with this Hobonichi Techo cover featuring “Emotional Reunion with Kariya-san” by beloved picture book author and illustrator Keiko Shibata. Originally created for Shibata’s personal art gallery in 2017, the artwork captures a touching moment as Kariya-san the elephant reunites with a young girl, holding her tightly in a joyful embrace. The design is printed on a textured polyester fabric to preserve the cozy, artistic feel of Shibata’s original oil pastel work. Kariya-san’s soft pink color stands out beautifully against the light background, while dark brown piping frames the cover like a piece of art. Inside, the cover features a gentle light beige interior, along with two suede-like faux leather bookmarks finished with colorful wooden bead charms. The left interior pocket is printed with Keiko Shibata’s signature.
