Yumi Kitagishi: White Cat Wallpaper Weeks Hardcover Book / Weekly Horizontal / Jan Start / Mon Start

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 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.
