Candy StripperRandom Dog & Cat (Aurora)Weeks Hardcover Book / Weekly Horizontal / ENG or JPN edition / Jan start / Mon start

2026 New

This retro-pop style Weeks features adorable dog and cat photos scattered across a shimmering aurora background that glows in seven colors. Created in collaboration with Candy Stripper, the beloved fashion brand celebrating its 30th anniversary in 2025.

A design filled with irresistible charm, featuring random placements of dog and cat photos interspersed with English wording. The aurora background, which changes color depending on the light, adds a stylish and playful touch.

The year 2026 is stamped in black foil.

We also made a flat pouch using the same material as the cover. The A6-size pouch (pink) perfectly fits the HON (A6), and the A5-size pouch (black) fits the HON (A5) just right.

With its playful spirit and genre-free design, Candy Stripper has always delivered fashion that empowers people to express themselves freely, regardless of age or gender. With this Weeks by your side, you’ll feel like you’re dressed in your favorite outfit every day—ready to enjoy life with confidence and joy.

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. It's characterized by its ability to hold ink well and provide a smooth writing experience.

The Weeks book has space for writing in plans or journal entries, and it also has 71 pages of grid paper memo pages in the back (75 pages in the English edition). The back of the book contains bonus pages, including Memories 2026 and 12 Switches to Help You Focus.

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.

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.

Scratches may be noticeable due to manufacturing: Scratches inevitably occur in the manufacturing process of the front covers and bookbinding, and may be more noticeable on dark-colored products in particular.

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.
