The Kokuyo Jibun Techo First Kit is the ultimate comprehensive starter set designed to fully introduce you to the modular Jibun Techo ecosystem. Meaning "myself" in Japanese, the Jibun Techo system acts as a reflective structure to organize your schedule, thoughts, and personal journey.

The First Kit features a unique 3-in-1 booklet configuration housed inside a transparent protective cover. This system splits your life tracking into three distinct, manageable modules:

• DIARY (For the Present): Your primary annual planner containing rich layouts such as 24-hour weekly vertical spreads, monthly calendar blocks, and project management Gantt charts. Printed on Kokuyo's signature lightweight, bleed-resistant THIN PAPER.
• LIFE (For the Future & Lifetime Memories): A multi-year booklet intended to record milestones, life goals, anniversaries, and personal history. Printed on durable MIO PAPER, this section is meant to be moved from one year's cover to the next without needing to rewrite lifetime data.
• IDEA (For Freeform Creativity): A 3mm grid notebook optimized for free-form journaling, note-taking, and brainstorming. It features a vertical margin design to separate entry index dates and titles from the primary notes section.
