The Paper series uses the nuanced paper from the paper company Takeo for their covers.
Sky uses Takeo’s Miranda paper for its cover, making it smooth to the touch. Just like the sky in spring, this light blue shade has a slightly muted undertone.
While at first glance, this may look like a simple, single-toned cover, upon closer inspection, you will find that there is a powder-like layer of fine glitter across the entire surface.
The year 2026 is foil-pressed in silver.
The elegant color combination is both invigorating and subdued. This is a Weeks that promises to refresh you every time you look at it.
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.

If you’ve used any of these products, we welcome your notes on what you like about them or what led you to buy them so we can share it with customers who are currently considering these products. 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 cover material is made with paper and is delicate. Please avoid getting the material wet. If you’re concerned about friction against the material, we recommend using a Clear Cover. Alternatively, we recommend storing it in a pouch or case when taking it out with you.
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.
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.
