Bow & TieGalloping HorsesWeeks Hardcover Book / Weekly Horizontal / ENG or JPN edition / Jan start / Mon start

  • 2026 New

The Bow & Tie series is covered with the same textured, shiny fabric used in neckties. The material has a beautiful gloss and is soft to the touch. On this Galloping Horses cover, a variety of horses—some galloping, some walking—are woven into a chic beige background. The horses spending their time in leisure are depicted in fine detail through the intricate weave of necktie fabric.









The flowing manes and tails add a sense of movement and energy. Since the material is the same as that used for actual neckties, the woven texture feels smooth to the touch, and the silky luster adds to its charm.









Among the many horses in different poses, you might spot one frolicking with a white bird.









The Galloping Horses lineup includes not only the techo but also Drawer Pouches and Stappo made with the same fabric.



The cover has been constructed as a light, hardcover book with some give to it so it still bends.



This design is also perfect for 2026, the Year of the Horse in the Chinese zodiac, making it a great choice for anyone looking for a lucky charm. With its motif of horses running free and wild, this cover is perfect for those looking to spend an active year.





When you order this Hobonichi Techo Weeks Mega, 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 Mega has space for writing in plans or journal entries, and it also has 215 pages of grid paper memo pages in the back (219 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 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.
