The Weeks is Hobonichi's slim, pocketable planner: a weekly horizontal spread on the left, a full page of grid memo on the right, in a book narrow enough to live in a jacket pocket. This edition is less a single artwork than a day at the museum. Motifs collected from across the V&A are scattered over a deep maroon ground: fashion and sculpture, Queen Victoria's coronet, even a cup of tea from the museum cafe.
The cover is necktie fabric, so the weave is fine enough to hold each small motif legibly, over a hardcover that is firm but not rigid. The year is foil-pressed in a light blue that lifts cleanly off the maroon.
