Makino CollectionMint RibbonsWeeks Hardcover Book (Japanese)
Ryushi Makino curates Japan’s highest-quality textiles for the top brands across the world in fashion and sports. For four years his famous “Makino Collection” series was featured in popular Hobonichi Techo covers, from 2009 to 2012. The collection returns in the 2020 lineup, with covers featuring textiles recommended by Makino.
This cute gingham design is embellished with mint-colored ribbons. Sparkling gold threads are sewn into the center of these ribbons to complete this cover’s cute yet polished look.
The ribbons and golden threads are not embroidered into the design afterwards, but instead sewn into the very fabric itself at the time of manufacturing. So as long as you do not apply especially strong pressure to the fabric, they won’t unravel. Weaving together threads with different textures is a difficult task, so it took the Japan’s best crafters to achieve this result.
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 you can stick anywhere you like.
When you purchase your Hobonichi Techo through the online Hobonichi Store, you will receive a free 2020-edition (red pen body) Hobonichi Store exclusive 3-color Jetstream ballpoint pen.
*The ballpoint pen has ended. 
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.

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.
- Pattern alignment varies by product
The patterned fabric has not been aligned to a specific layout, so the placement of each design will vary by product. The product will not be an exact replica of the one in the product photographs.
- Use caution around sharp objects
The material in this product snags easily on sharp objects, so please handle with care.
- 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.
