The Hobonichi Techo is one of Japan's best-selling planners. More than just an agenda, it is a blank canvas for documenting the small moments of everyday life. Use it as a diary, scrapbook, sketchbook, or simply a place to record your thoughts. It is made with Tomoe River paper, which is ultra thin and lightweight yet remarkably resistant to ink bleedthrough.
Illustrator Yumi Kitagishi lends her artistic talent to the captivating artwork adorning the cover of this Weeks book. Through her acrylic gouache paintings, Kitagishi transports viewers to a world brimming with warmth and nostalgia, evoking memories of carefree childhood days spent immersed in picture books. Hobonichi initiated its collaboration with her in 2024, marking the beginning of a partnership that quickly garnered widespread acclaim, with their inaugural collaboration emerging as the standout hit of the year.
