Hobonichi Moomin: Various Sticky Notes - Moomin

The Hobonichi Moomin: Various Sticky Notes bring the colourful world of Moomin Valley straight into your Techo. The motifs are taken from illustrations in Tove Jansson's novel "Moominsummer Madness" (Finnish original title: Farlig midsommar, 1954) – a story about a flooded world, a drifting theatre, and the wonderfully chaotic Moomin family. The set consists of paper sticky notes in various shapes and colours, writeable with pen or pencil.

Features

• Motifs from "Moominsummer Madness": The illustrations show characters directly from Tove Jansson's novel illustrations – not simplified licensed designs, but motifs with genuine book art origins.
• Various shapes in the set: The word "Various" in the product name is the promise – the set contains sticky notes in different shapes, suitable for various marking purposes.
• Writeable with pen and pencil: The paper accepts ballpoint pens, pencils and fine-tip markers. If you use fountain pen ink, you should quickly check whether your preferred ink dries sufficiently fast on uncoated sticker paper.
• Usable as page markers: The sticky notes can be positioned so they protrude from the side of the Techo – as a coloured index tab for appointments, weeks or projects.
• Part of the 2026 Moomin line: Part of the coordinated Moomin collection for the Hobonichi Techo 2026, alongside stencil, stamps and desk pad.

Use & Tips

• Techo indexing: Stick a note horizontally across the page edge – this lets you instantly find month beginnings, project pages or special entries without flipping through.
• Quick notes in the calendar: Use small sticky notes for keywords, to-dos or reminders, then remove or reposition them later without leaving any residue.
• Journaling decoration: The colourful Moomin motifs work wonderfully as illustrative elements on bullet journal pages, weekly layouts or blank pages in your Techo.
• Combination with other Moomin items: Particularly striking when used together with the matching Hobonichi Moomin desk pad or Moomin stencil – the shared illustration theme creates a cohesive page design.
• Writing tip: Fine felt-tip pens and pencils work reliably on the paper. Very wet fountain pen inks can cause wrinkling on sticky note paper – fast-drying inks or a brief wait to dry are recommended.

For Techo and Moomin Enthusiasts

"Moominsummer Madness" was published in 1954 as the fifth novel in Tove Jansson's Moomin series. The story takes place in a flooded, theatrically chaotic summer world – a mood reflected in the lively, colourful illustrations from which the sticky note motifs are derived. Hobonichi deliberately chose the novel illustrations as templates: they possess a graphic quality that sets them apart from simplified merchandise adaptations. Tove Jansson herself wrote and illustrated the Moomin books between 1945 and 1970 – the drawings bear her unmistakable, distinctive line.
