Tomo & C.O. pays homage to Rocksteady's paperback book covers. They will be available at Alley Cats in Yutenji this weekend only.

The new Tomo&Co. products to be released this month are inspired by designer Tomotaka Onozaki's own lifestyle and the brands he admires. We asked him to tell us how he came up with the idea, so let us introduce it here along with the items.

NON FICTION MY BOOK COVER

Mr. Onozaki always uses a pen and notebook to write down tasks and notes. His favorite notebook is "My Book" from Shincho Bunko. He likes the fact that it is a notebook with just the date on the page, so he can trace back what he wrote on a certain day and look back on it as if it were a diary. So he wanted to create a cover that he could be attached to because it is something he keeps by his side every day, and this item was the result.

This type of cover was sold in the past at Kenji Akashi's "ROCKSTEADY," which Mr. Onozaki adores, so the name of the item at that time, "non fiction," is engraved on the cover.

It is made of leather, so the more you use it, the more it will change to a tasteful texture. This cover will also come with a pen and "My Book".

We live in an age where task management can be completed with a smartphone, but many of us are still analogists. How about one for the next year? It would also make a great gift.

The items will be available at the official online store of Tomo&Cio and at an event scheduled to be held at the Yutenji diner "Alley Cats". For more information on the event, please check the information page.
