The title character from the children’s book published in 1958, A Bear Called Paddington, is now available on a Hobonichi Techo Weeks book cover.



Paddington™ is a bear who traveled alone from Peru to England, and lives with the Brown family in London. He wears a trademark red hat and blue coat, and loves marmalade sandwiches. He writes letters about his daily life and sends them to his Aunt Lucy in the Home for Retired Bears where she lives in Peru.



The Weeks cover design has a pale cream-colored background and an image of Paddington wearing his red hat and holding a suitcase. The cover has been constructed as a light hardcover book with some give to it so it still bends, and is made with cloth with a fine, uneven texture.







The year 2025 is foil-printed in gold, which sparkles in the light to give the book a strong sense of presence.







The book spine stands out with the title “Please Look After This Bear. Thank You,” printed onto the isolated blue on the spine. This is the title of the first chapter of the children’s book, as it’s the message written on a tag around Paddington’s neck when he first met the Browns.







The back cover shows a monochrome image of the back of Paddington, giving the Weeks book a cute yet stylish look that adults can also enjoy.







You can also buy a pencil board that matches the color scheme to use as a set.







Paddington’s hearty curiosity has him trying all kinds of new things, and we hope you can spend 2025 alongside him, making exciting memories.



In addition to the techo, our Paddington™ lineup includes stationery and accessories that make a great set when used together.

When you order this Hobonichi Techo Weeks, you’ll receive a clear, adhesive corner pocket you can stick anywhere you like.







The book uses thin and light yet durable Tomoe River paper. This paper that underwent an overhaul with the 2024 edition techo is more resistant to bleed through, lighter despite being the same thickness, and has a smoother surface by adjusting the fibers of the paper.







The Weeks book has space for writing in plans or journal entries, and it also has 69 pages of grid paper memo pages in the back. The back of the book contains bonus pages, including Sample Symbols and Icons and Recommended Noodle List of 47 Prefectures.







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.
