SmoothForest Green2024 edition / Weeks Softcover Book / Weekly Horizontal / JPN edition / Apr start / Mon start

  • 2024 ver.

The Smooth series features softcover Weeks books with an especially soft feel. The main characteristics of the series are the way these books fit into your hands and their unique colors.



Forest Green has a deep green color, just like the trees in the forest. Then calming green will bring a sense of serenity to your year. The year 2024 is foil-pressed in gold and sparkles in the light.



This softcover book is easy to grasp in your hand, flip through the pages, and shove in your pocket. The ability to roughhouse this durable little book makes it very easy to use. Because the book uses soft materials, you’ll need to hold the pages down in order to open the book flat.







The two layers of soft polyurethane give the cover a moderate thickness and make the book durable.



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.

A softcover book with mature colors

The Smooth series uses a smooth material with a soft touch. Last year, we chose three colors with a cute look, but for this year, we went with calming colors which we named “Sangria” and “Forest Green.” Both have a mature look to it that you can use in business settings too.



When it comes to Weeks books with a softcover, the White Line series might come to mind first, but if you like soft textures and colors with a twist, this series is for you.

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.

Coloring may stain other objects

The dye in the cover may stain other objects if it rubs against or sticks to them, especially if the cover is wet from water or sweat from your hands. Please store 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.

Hold down book lightly to keep open

Due to the materials used in the cover, the book will need to be slightly held down while writing.

Avoid using with Clear Cover

This cover uses thicker materials than usual, so it may not fit. Forcing it into a Clear Cover may damage the product.
