This Weeks features artwork from Tomie, the debut work and one of the most iconic creations of horror manga artist Junji Ito. Using original illustrations that bring Junji Ito’s one-of-a-kind world to life, the artwork bridges nearly 40 years since his debut in 1987.



The Tomie - Haunting Beauty Weeks features an illustration of an illusory version of Tomie, born from a young girl’s intense admiration. Printed on a matte black cover, the image of Tomie is rendered using glossy silk screen printing to give it a subtle shine. The contrast between the two textures of black brings the artwork to life, capturing Tomie’s haunting beauty and allure.









This illustration is taken from the Tomie: Hair chapter. To recreate the screen tone used in the original manga, shading has been added to her forehead and lips using fine dots. A thick layer of transparent ink has been used to express the lines that highlight her signature features—her long, glossy black hair and the tear-shaped mole beneath her left eye—creating a shifting impression depending on the angle you view it from.









The back cover features an illustration of the scene where a girl discovers a bundle of hair stored in a paulownia box in her father’s study. It marks the beginning of the story, as she imagines the owner of this otherworldly, beautiful black hair. The luster of Tomie’s glossy hair is expressed using gold foil.









We also offer the Hobonichi Tomie - Pink Pencil Board for the Weeks—perfectly matched to the Tomie Weeks book. We recommend using them together as a set.









In addition to the techo, the Tomie lineup featuring artwork by Junji Ito also includes sticky notes and stamps that add a touch of horror to your everyday life.



This beautifully eerie techo cover is the perfect match for Tomie’s extravagant and exacting persona. Let yourself be captivated by her charm—and enjoy a thrilling year ahead.
