Hobotoridori is an official character created for the Hobonichi shopping event called Joys of Life. This year, we’re introducing a Hobonichi Techo with a glossy cover that’s covered with images of this character in a variety of milky colors.



Aki Kondo, creator of many characters including Rilakkuma and Mofy the rabbit, helped us create Hobotoridori. Each of them is engrossed in things they like, making for a very fun Weeks design.







The Hobotoridori characters sparkle like constellations across the night sky with the dark navy background.



There are a total of 46 Hobotoridoris across the design, including Hoodori wearing a hoodie, Flowertori holding a single rose, and Snowbird that looks like a snowman.



The year 2025 is foil-pressed in silver on the front cover and sparkles in the light.







The image of Illumi-dori on the back cover is the only one foil-pressed in metallic pink for a nice sparkle.



Also available for sale is “Hobotoridori (Illumi-dori)”, the Hobonichi Pencil Board for the Weeks which is printed with an image of Illumidori.







We’ve created many different collaboration items with Hobotoridori for the Hobonichi Techo 2025 Spring lineup: “Sparkling Hobotoridori” for the Weeks, the Weeks-size Hobonichi Pencil Board “Hobotoridori (Illumi-dori)”, the “Hobotoridori Die-Cut Memo Pad” with five different Hobotoridori designs, washi tape and stickers that look cute when used in the Hobonichi Techo, and two sizes of Drawer Pouches.







We hope you find joy in the small pleasures of life when you're with these fun-loving Hobotoridori, who love to gather and share their many diverse passions.



The cover has been constructed as a light hardcover book with some give to it, so it still bends.



*This product is not available in an English edition.

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 Spring edition 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 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.
