The Hobonichi Weeks is a slim, all-in-one planner that combines a weekly calendar with ample note space, perfect for carrying everywhere or keeping on your desk. This special artist’s edition showcases the work of embroidery artist and illustrator iyo okumi, whose intricate, romantic designs turn everyday motifs into quiet stories.
Named A Story About Me, the cover reproduces one of okumi’s hand-embroidered pieces: a white dog resting in the grass as a black cat joins, all framed by a lace-like border of wildflowers and butterflies. A delicate bouquet at the top is highlighted with silver-foil accents, matching the silver-foiled “2026” on the front. The smooth, lustrous finish captures every stitch in striking detail, while the back features subtle cords of wrapped thread—a nod to the embroidery process itself.
