Omiya YogashitenShall we have some tea?Weeks Hardcover Book (Japanese)
This Weeks book is modeled after the packaging of Omiya Yogashiten, a historical and beloved sweets shop in Kanda, Tokyo.
Omiya Yogashiten is famous for treats such as strawberry shortcake sandwiches and colorful mixed-fruit containing plenty of strawberries. Equally popular is the packaging, which we’ve based this cover design on.
The illustrations were drawn by a young woman who was a university art student at the time. The pastel-colored design is cute yet elegant, with a gentle feel. It shows a man and woman relaxing on a terrace, a boy playing with a dog, women and girls dressed up nicely, and other scenes that will brighten your day.
We turned these packaging illustrations into the front cover of the Weeks book as a way to fill users with the same happiness and fun that comes from tasting the amazing treats from Omiya Yogashiten.
We chose a textured surface.
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 2022-edition (mint green pen body) Hobonichi Store exclusive 3-color Jetstream ballpoint pen (available while supplies last).
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.

Also available are a variety of matching stationery and accessories you can use alongside your 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.
- Cover corners are slightly bumpy and shiny
The corners of the cover contain light traces of press marks, shines, and lumps. This is an unavoidable part of the manufacturing process.
- 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.
