Keiko ShibataClear Cover for Weeks (Dog Ears Fluttering in the Wind)

  • 2025 New

This is the decorated version of the Clear Cover, an optional, extra covering that goes directly over your Hobonichi Techo Weeks book to protect it from wear and tear over the course of the year while instantly giving solid-color covers a fresh new look.



The illustration for “Dog Ears Fluttering in the Wind” was selected from the works of Keiko Shibata, a picture book artist and illustrator.



This piece is from a series of artworks drawn in 2022 with the theme of “wind.” A strong wind blows from the front, causing the dog’s ears to flap. You can enjoy the unique expression of the wind, making the dog’s eyes rounded and blowing the dog’s fur.



Although the design could look like a dot pattern from a distance, it actually features seven different dogs in a diagonal pattern.



The colorful design is expressed in a warm touch with oil pastels. The various colors used make it go well with Weeks in any color.

Clear Cover for Weeks has been specially measured for use on the Weeks books. Please choose the size that matches the size of your book.

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.

Avoid cold temperatures

The PVC vinyl of the Clear Cover may lose elasticity and become difficult to put on when left in cold temperatures. If this happens, we recommend letting the product sit in a warm area before applying to your cover. Please be careful when handling your Clear Cover in cold temperatures, as it becomes more susceptible to damage if dropped or handled roughly.

Maximum pen width of 13.5 mm for pen holder

The pen holder is designed to perfectly fit the 12.2 mm (0.48”) diameter Jetstream pen offered as a free bonus gift with select Japanese-version Hobonichi Web Shop products. Pens with certain shapes and materials may be difficult to pull through the holder. The holder can fit pens up to 13.5 mm (0.53”) in diameter.

If marking flap is hard to loosen, hold the rounded edge

If you’re having a hard time opening the marking flap, press your thumb strongly against the rounded edge of the flap as you hold the spot beside it in place.

Available for use with Weeks Mega (Colors series)

This size will fit the Hobonichi Techo Weeks Mega - Colors series. The product may feel tight at first, but it will break in over time.
The Clear Cover will have 1 cm loose plastic past the top and bottom when used with the Weeks Mega - Sneaker book series.
