The Can You See What I See? Hobonichi Techo cover series features images from the hit children’s book series by Walter Wick, like mountains of buttons, old robots, shelves overflowing with toys, and vast and creepy castles, all with hidden secrets waiting to be discovered. The Games Galore design is available directly on a Hobonichi Techo Weeks book.
This Hobonichi Techo Weeks contains an all-over print of assorted games from the book Can You See What I See?: Cool Collections. You can see iconic game pieces like cards, dice, chess pieces, and more.
In the very middle of the back cover, you can spot the book series’ mascot, Seymour, included in some of the cards scattered among the game pieces.
Included with the techo cover is a card with a riddle like those featured in the books. The riddle, written by Walter Wick, is included in English alongside the Japanese translation by Shigesato Itoi, who translated the series into Japanese. Open up your cover to see the full photo and enjoy the beloved picture puzzle.
The cover has been constructed as a light, hardcover book with some give to it so it still bends.
When you order this Hobonichi Techo Weeks, you’ll receive a clear, adhesive corner pocket and a mini-size fold-out Hobonichi Japan Railway Map 2019.
If you’d like storage space or a way to change up the look of your Weeks book, you can customize your book by pairing it with a Weeks cover.

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.
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.
The corners of the cover contain light traces of press marks, shines, and lumps. This is an unavoidable part of the manufacturing process.
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.
We do not recommend using this cover with the Cover on Cover since the PP coated surface of the cover has a tendency to stick to the soft PVC material used in the Cover on Cover under certain temperature and humidity levels.
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.
