PREORDER: Hobonichi Techo 2027 Weeks Yumi Kitagishi: White Cat Wallpaper

This is the Hobonichi Techo’s fourth collaboration with Yumi Kitagishi, an illustrator who has also been making a name for herself as a picture book author in recent years.

The Weeks cover features an original wallpaper-inspired pattern featuring illustrations of a white cat, two elegantly dressed swans, a black cat maid, and a grand house. The charming and graceful design evokes the wallpaper inside a dollhouse, a recurring motif in Kitagishi’s work.

The year 2027, the delicate line of small flowers and leaves along the spine, and the ribbon and lily-of-the-valley accent are all foil-pressed in matte gold for a touch of understated glamour.

The days you spend with this Weeks by your side will feel like time spent in your favorite room. Wherever you are, you can be yourself, wrapped in a quiet, comfortable sense of ease.

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.

Features:

• Super-thin Tomoe River paper.
• Graph sheet style.
• Weekly planner section with two pages for each week from November 30, 2026 through January 2, 2028. The left page lists each day of the week in a Monday–Sunday format, and the right page features graph paper for additional notes.
• Monthly calendar section covering December 2026 through March 2028, with two-page spreads for each month.
• 75 numbered pages of additional graph paper.
• Reference pages including spaces to record addresses, your favorite things, and more.
• Two ribbon page markers.
• Sticker for adding a pocket to one of the inside covers.

Notes:

• The dyes used in the cover may transfer to other objects, especially if wet.
• The corners of the cover may have light traces of press marks from the manufacturing processes.
• Because the paper is so smooth, ink will take longer to dry and may be more prone to smearing on Tomoe River paper than it is on typical notebook or copy paper.
