Mother (EarthBound in North America) is a video game series created by Shigesato Itoi and released in 1994. After years of successful Hobonichi Techo cover designs, the series makes its return to the lineup in 2019.







This techo cover design is unlike any we’ve done before. It features a photograph of the first three heroes of the game, Ness, Paula and Jeff, standing before the Third Sanctuary (Milky Well) along their journey.







Fans who have played the game back when it first came out may recognize the figurines of the heroes. These famous and precious figurines were used in the photography of the official guidebook originally included with the game. Now, twenty years later, they make their comeback on a Hobonichi Techo cover.
