A brand born in England, Liberty Fabrics has gained fans around the world, and this Weeks features their printed fabric.
Sasha Kiora is a small floral pattern reminiscent of the pastoral illustrations by Kate Greenaway, a representative picture book artist of the latter half of 19th century Britain. With pink and light blue anemones drifting through the breeze, and small buds and leaves peeking through, this elegant design is reminiscent of a windy meadow.
The fabric on the exterior is a Tana Lawn cotton, a material developed by Liberty Fabrics, which provides a smooth and silky feel that you will want to keep touching again and again.
Foil-pressed in gold is the year 2026 on the front cover and spine, and the name Hobonichi on the back.
The cover has been constructed as a light hardcover book with some give to it so it still bends.
Storage pouches with the Sasha Kiora fabric are also available. With the Stappo, you can store the small items on your desk in an upright position, while the Drawer Pouch lets you carry all of your belongings with you in what feels like an organised drawer.
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.

About Liberty Fabrics
Liberty Fabrics is a fabric brand from England. Founded in 1875 by Arthur Lasenby Liberty (1843-1917), who discovered the beauty of Japanese art during a World’s Fair in London in the 19th century.
The company originated as a small import shop with oriental ornaments and fabrics. The delicate silk and intricate hand-dyed art were praised by followers of the Aesthetic Movement, and in the 1880s, Liberty began printing high-quality cotton textiles as a way to recreate sturdy versions of the delicate Eastern silks.
In the 1920s, Liberty developed their original “Tana Lawn” cotton material, which looks and feels like silk and has a lightweight structure that allows it to drape beautifully. Liberty has created intricate prints bursting with color and complex designs ever since.

We’d also love to welcome comments from customers who purchased their techo outside the Hobonichi Store or received their book as a gift.
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.
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.
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.
