Illustrator and children’s book author Jin Kitamura created the cute illustration featured on this Weeks book.

The image shows a panda happily playing with a tire. It was drawn in crayon for a laid-back look. The image is so cute that you’ll never “tire” of looking at it.

The checkered lines in the background are also hand-drawn by Kitamura. There is variance in the line thickness and space between each line, giving it a gentle look. Kimatura also hand-wrote the title “Love it” into the illustration itself.

The cover material is white with the same texture as a painting canvas.



The front cover and book spine are foil-printed with the year 2024 in black, for a nice and simple look.



The back cover features the image of Kitamura’s signature.



The cover has been constructed as a light hardcover book with some give to it so it still bends.

When you order this Hobonichi Techo Weeks, you’ll receive a clear, adhesive corner pocket you can stick anywhere you like.



The Weeks book has space for writing in plans or journal entries, and it also has 69 pages of grid paper memo pages in the back (73 pages in the English edition Weeks). The back of the book contains informational pages, including An Interview with Myself and Seasonal Sweets to Make at Home.
