mtBlue MixWeeks Hardcover Book (Japanese)
We’ve teamed up with mt, the world’s leading washi tape brand, to create this Weeks book designed to replicate the unique appeal of washi tape.
Blue Mix is made up of a series of blue and white stripes — striped, polka-dotted, solid, and checkered. The cover design is like the sparkling surface of the ocean. The washi tape sections of the design are woven in with fabric to allow you to enjoy the texture and look of washi tape against the smooth surface of the rest of the cover.
We invite you to have a great time in the year ahead by sticking a variety of washi tape to your Weeks adhesive pocket and techo pages to fill your world with color.
We’ve specially prepared rolls of washi tape to match the mt cover series, so you can have even more fun with your cover. You can buy washi tape in Pastel Mix, Red x Yellow Mix, and Blue Mix.
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.

About mt
Founded in 2008, mt is the leading maker of washi tape, or decorative masking tape, designed for stationery and accessories. While masking tape has traditionally been used for industrial purposes or in the health industry, its ability to adhere to surfaces without damaging them made it the perfect medium for the colorful designs that have made it a new form of stationery, both convenient and cute.
The tape has since become a part of the daily lives of countless users. Washi tape has a wide variety of colors, patterns, and sizes, and looks and feels like traditional, translucent washi paper. The tape can be removed and reapplied, as well as ripped by hand. It can also be written on. Washi tape can be used in endless ways, whether it’s to tape up a written memo, to wrap gifts, or to ornament a collage. It’s fun to have a collection of various designs for you to choose from.

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.
