- Japanese / English
The Paper series uses the nuanced paper from the paper company Takeo for their covers.
Black Argyle uses a paper from Takeo called “Tant Select.” The fine embossed texture gives the cover a distinctive look that, depending on the angle, can appear as an argyle pattern.
Despite the embossing, the cover has a smooth, matte feel to the touch. The year 2027 is foil-pressed in silver.
It’s a Weeks that fits seamlessly into business settings while still carrying a quiet, understated individuality.
The Hobonichi Techo Weeks comes with a clear, adhesive corner pocket you can stick anywhere you like.
The pages are made of thin and light yet durable Tomoe River paper that holds ink well, providing a smooth writing experience.
In addition to the monthly calendars and weekly pages, there are also plenty of grid-lined memo pages.
The back of the book contains bonus pages. Both the Japanese and English editions feature standard favorites like My 100 and the 365 Days Check-Off Sheet, as well as new additions like Phrases to Break That Writer’s Block and the Hobonichi’s Neighborhood: Kanda/Jinbo-cho Map, among others.
If you’d like to customize the look of your Weeks or add space to store accessories, you can pair it with a Weeks cover.

Please Read Before You Buy
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.
- 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.
- About the cover material
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 transfer may occur due to friction, pressure, or moisture
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.
- 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.
