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 favourites 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 customise the look of your Weeks or add space to store accessories, you can pair it with a Weeks cover.

What Makes It Work So Well

• A pattern that comes and goes: Takeo’s Tant Select paper is embossed so finely that the argyle appears only at certain angles, then politely disappears again.
• Matte and smooth under the thumb: Despite all that embossing the surface stays velvety flat, a soot-deep black that never shouts across a meeting table.
• All the room you need: Every week runs horizontally down the left page with blank graph paper opposite, and the thread-stitched binding opens flat at 180 degrees.
