We now have a Weeks book with the artwork of graphic designer Tomomi ©︎ Nishikawa.



Tomomi ©︎ Nishikawa’s work, created by combining different shapes, are all free and entertaining designs that look like bouncing balls.



The design of this Weeks book is based on the original poster “Hanabi Set.” The title was given to this work because it resembles the “fireworks set” commercially available in Japan, with how various motifs, including the bouquet, a trash can, a UFO, and a mole, are mixed and matched.



The artwork expands throughout the cover from the front to the back, making you want to look at it over and over again, giving you joy as if you are visiting an art museum.







On the upper right corner of the front cover is the year 2024 foil-pressed in gold.







Tomomi ©︎ Nishikawa’s autograph is placed on the back cover under the dove, a symbol of peace.







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.







From the 2024 April-start version for the Weeks, the book uses thin and light yet durable Tomoe River paper. The paper has supported the Hobonichi Techo for over 20 years with its special characteristics, but it’ll be undergoing an overhaul starting with the 2024 edition techos. The paper 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 73 pages of grid paper memo pages in the back. The back of the book contains informational pages, including An Interview with Myself and Seasonal Sweets to Make at Home.







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.
