  • 2026 New
  • HOBONICHI STORE ONLY

The Happy Ice Cream design is available exclusively at the Hobonichi Online Store.

(It will not be sold at Tobichi Tokyo, Kyoto, or other locations.)




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. The Happy Ice Cream design features a cheerful lineup of colorful ice creams set against a black background. Each delicious-looking treat is intricately woven in fine detail using necktie fabric.









Soft serve, popsicles, ice cream bars, cup ice cream—so many different types of ice cream are temptingly waiting in front of you. You might even spot one that’s just plopped onto the ground. 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.









Every ice cream is bursting with bright colors! One of them even has three scoops topped with a cherry, capturing that delightful feeling of excitement when you pick it up.









The Happy Ice Cream lineup includes not just the techo, but also matching Drawer Pouches and Stappo made with the same fabric, as well as coordinating Deco Rush tape.



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



Surrounded by all these ice creams, this design is sure to put you in a happy mood anytime. With so many fun choices, here’s hoping your year is filled with excitement 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

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.

Pattern alignment varies by product

The patterned fabric has not been aligned to a specific layout, so the placement of each design will vary by product. The product will not be an exact replica of the one in the product photographs.

Use caution around sharp objects

The material in this product snags easily on sharp objects, so please handle with care.

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.
