LeatherPomegranateWeeks Hardcover Book / Weekly Horizontal / JPN edition / Apr start / Mon start

  • 2025ver.

This leather Weeks book features durable and comfortable cow leather for the attached cover. The shiny satin bookmark ribbons and headband on the book spine establish a slightly more elaborate construction than usual.



In Pomegranate, we use leather dyed deep red as the pomegranate fruit. The dull and subdued color gives it a mature look. The year 2025 is foil-pressed in gold and sparkles when it catches the light.



The top and bottom of the book spine contain headbands to reinforce the binding and decoration. We chose red and white headbands for this design.







The bookmarks are made of deep red and dark brown satin ribbons with a nice sheen for a sophisticated color scheme.







The leather Weeks book comes in a specially-designed envelope to prevent sun damage.



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 (73 pages in the English edition). The back of the book contains bonus pages, including Sample Symbols and Icons and Oodles of Noodles.







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.



See Weeks cover lineup

The Hobonichi Techo leather covers are made with all-natural materials that have their own unique appearance. Every leather cover is a one-of-a-kind, all-natural product, so you can feel good knowing your cover is the only one like it in the world. Here are some of the unique characteristics you can expect to find.



- Markings that naturally occur during an animal’s life:

Wrinkles, veins, texture, and scratches







- Characteristics from the manufacturing process of natural leather:

Dark spots (occurs when components of the leather are exposed to iron in the air during the tanning and dyeing process)



A classical leather-covered techo with a playful touch

Leather is a Weeks book series with a cowhide leather cover. It features luxurious colors and a comfortable touch that only leather products can provide.



The 2025 edition comes in two colors: Pomegranate and Steel Gray. Not only are red and gray standard colors for planners, but we also selected the leathers in shades to make them suitable for various purposes.



Among the variety of Weeks books, the shiny satin ribbon and headband are unique to this series. We hope you will feel the charm of the playful addition to the classical leather techo.

Please Read Before You Buy

We’ve compiled a list of warnings, potential issues, and tips to keep in mind for this particular product. Additionally, the color of the product may be slightly different in actuality than compared to how it appeared on a computer or smartphone screen.

Press marks or shines may appear on the corners

You may notice press marks, slight whitening, or a glossy finish on the corners of the front and back covers. These are unavoidable results of the binding process.

Color transfer may occur due to friction, pressure, or moisture

Color may transfer to other items through friction or prolonged contact. This risk increases when the cover is exposed to water or sweat, so please take extra care when carrying it near clothing or other belongings.

About the paper used (techo)

The Tomoe River paper designed for planners is known for its thinness and smooth writing surface. However, depending on the type and amount of ink or pen used—as well as environmental conditions—some ink may bleed through or take longer to dry. We recommend testing your pens on an inconspicuous area first, or using a pencil board or blotting paper for best results.
