Bow & TieBoar PigletsWeeks Hardcover Book (Japanese)

      The Bow & Tie series is covered with the same textured, shiny fabric used in neckties. The gloss and soft touch of the material makes this series stand out from other Weeks books. The cover has been constructed as a light, hardcover book with some give to it so it still bends.



      Boar piglets lined up along a refreshing mint blue background give the cover its unique look. Their cute, round little bodies and the stripes down their back are woven into the fabric, just like on a patterned necktie.



      Maybe carrying this techo in the Year of the Boar, 2019, will be a good omen. You’ll have the confidence to carry straight on toward the goals in your life, just like a determined little boar.



      Among all the piglets lining the cover, you can spot cute little ones huffing and puffing.

      When you order this Hobonichi Techo Weeks, you’ll receive a clear, adhesive corner pocket and a mini-size fold-out Hobonichi Japan Railway Map 2019.

      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

      In order to provide you with the most satisfaction for your product, we've compiled a list of warnings, potential issues, and tips to keep in mind for this particular product. Please be sure to read this information carefully before placing your order.

      Test fountain pens before regular use

      The Hobonichi Techo's Tomoe River paper is designed to prevent bleed-through, but some fountain pens and water-based ink pens are not compatible with this paper. When switching to a new pen, we recommend testing the pen somewhere in the book, such as the back memo pages, to see if the ink bleeds through or takes an especially long time to dry.

      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.

      Imprinted year numbers may peel

      The numbers of the year are stamped onto the cover in metallic or other colored leaf, so strong rubbing or everyday use may cause the numbers to peel off.

      Avoid storing in hot and humid places

      Please avoid storing your product in hot, humid places or placing it atop other objects for long periods of time as this may result in lower quality and color stains.
