Hobonichi Weeks 2027 (Japanese): Yoshie Watanabe - Petit Bloom

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 one was made with art director Yoshie Watanabe, who is behind the fashion brand CACUMA. Small flowers in many colours are woven into a deep navy fabric rather than printed onto it, which gives the cover a soft, slightly formal look.

A single red line runs across the front and the back as an accent. The year is foiled in black on the spine, subtle enough to catch only at an angle, and Watanabe's signature is on the back in the same black foil. Because the flowers are part of the weave, their placement shifts a little from book to book.
