Hobonichi Techo Bow & Tie: Cats & Me Weeks [JPN Spring Start 2024]

The Hobonichi Techo Weeks size planner with one page per week. This is the April-start version with pages spanning from April 2024 up to March 2025.

The Bow & Tie series is covered with the same textured, shiny fabric used in neckties. The gloss and soft touch of the material makes this series stand out from other Weeks books.

This design features cats that are sitting down and looking steadily this way on a pale, mint green base. Various cats have been expressed in detail through the weaves of the necktie material.

It's as if you’ve stepped into a place filled with cats. The cats have different types of fur, from those with a single color to those with a pattern. Among the various cats, you’ll occasionally find those who are playing with a pink ball of yarn.

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

From the 2024 April-start version for the Weeks, the book uses thin and light yet durable Tomoe River S paper. The paper has supported the Hobonichi Techo for over 20 years with its special characteristics, but it’ll be undergoing an overhaul starting with the 2024 edition techos. The paper is more resistant to bleed through, lighter despite being the same thickness, and has a smoother surface by adjusting the fibers of the paper.

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 and the April-start version). The back of the book contains informational pages, including An Interview with Myself and Seasonal Sweets to Make at Home.
