Description: This English-language, weekly-edition Hobonichi Techo is a compact book that’s easy to carry everywhere. Also included are TWO FREE GIFTS – first, a matching pencil board also in a design from Unsodo Bijutsukai. And also, a small folder made by Hobonichi containing 81 individual pieces of double-stick tape, that you can tuck into your diary and use for safely securing small paper items. Each page spread offers a week of planning and a blank page for note-taking. The book is slim and portable — roughly the size of a long wallet — with plenty of cover designs to choose from. The main layout of the book consists of a weekly calendar on the left page and blank graph paper on the right page. Each weekly spread also contains the characteristic Hobonichi quote on the bottom of the page. Though it appears slim at first glance, the Weeks book contains a full year's worth of pages along with 71 graph-ruled memo pages at the end for note-taking. It's crafted from Tomoe River Paper, which is thin yet strong and resistant to ink bleeding and feathering. Constructed like a light hardcover book, the cover has some give to it so it bends a bit in the hand. Language: English Made by: Hobonichi Made in: Japan Specifications: 7.4" x 3.7" x 0.4" About the cover design: Bijutsukai and Shin Bijutsukai are craft design books published during the Meiji period (1868–1912). Both contain beautiful designs created by various Japanese painters and designers. This collection of multicolored woodblock print designs was published by Unsodo, a Kyoto-based art publishing company and the only publisher of hand-printed woodblock books in Japan. This Weeks book was created using a craft design selected from Bijutsukai. It is said that in the past, Japanese aristocrats used to write waka poems on paper mulberry leaves instead of the tanzaku paper strips used today. Their wishes for the tanabata star festival were also written on paper mulberry leaves. It then became a time when “kaji-no-ha ornaments” were regarded as a symbol of tanabata decorations, made by hanging folded colored paper on a paper mulberry leaf and tying a string on it. these historical motifs are what is described in this design. However, it is interesting that the shapes and exquisite colors of the individual pieces give us a sense of the coming future.
