White LineBlackWeeks Softcover Book (Japanese)

      The distinct white line running down the front cover is the trademark of this annual design.

      This smart-looking Black book has been one of the best-selling Weeks designs since the Weeks joined the lineup in 2011, thanks to its unique look of the white stripe laid over a basic black background for a stark contrast.
      The White Line books are the only softcover books in the otherwise hardcover collection, so it's easy to flip through the pages, grasp the book in your hand, shove it in your pocket, and roughhouse this durable little book.



      When you order this Hobonichi Techo Weeks, you’ll receive an adhesive clear corner pocket and a mini size fold-out Hobonichi Japan Railway Map 2019.

      We offer a variety of Weeks covers for you to enjoy customizing your techo whether you want to store more things or change up the style.

      Please Read Before You Buy

      In order to provide you with the most satisfaction for your product, we've compiled a list of warnings, potential issues, and tips to keep in mind for this particular product. Please be sure to read this information carefully before placing your order.

      Test fountain pens before regular use

      The Hobonichi Techo's Tomoe River paper is designed to prevent bleed-through, but some fountain pens and water-based ink pens are not compatible with this paper. When switching to a new pen, we recommend testing the pen somewhere in the book, such as the back memo pages, to see if the ink bleeds through or takes an especially long time to dry.

      Silk print may smell like ink at first

      The white line is screen printed, so there's a chance the cover will still smell of ink when you first receive it. If the smell bothers you, keep it out in a well-ventilated area and the smell will dissipate over time.

      Hold down book lightly to keep open

      Due to the materials used in the cover, the book will need to be slightly held down while writing.

      Avoid using with Clear Cover

      This cover uses thicker materials than usual, so it may not fit. Forcing it into a Clear Cover may damage the products.

      Imprinted year numbers may peel

      The numbers of the year are stamped onto the cover in metallic or other colored leaf, so strong rubbing or everyday use may cause the numbers to peel off.

      Avoid storing in hot and humid places

      Please avoid storing your product in hot, humid places or placing it atop other objects for long periods of time as this may result in lower quality and color stains.
