Hobonichi Techo 2027 Weeks - Leo Lionni: Frederick - Poet

The Hobonichi Techo Weeks celebrates Leo Lionni’s beloved classic picture book Frederick, featuring the quiet field mouse against a simple, picture-book-inspired backdrop. The Poet design places Frederick sitting with his back to the viewer in an open white space, accented by vibrant red poppy flowers and a matching red spine. The back cover features the handwritten “Frederick” lettering from the original book’s endpapers.

Frederick tells the story of a field mouse who spends his days gathering “sun rays,” “colors,” and “words” while the other mice prepare for winter. In 2027, the beloved picture book celebrates its 60th anniversary, making this Weeks a special tribute to Lionni’s timeless story and its celebration of creativity and imagination.

The cover has a rough, canvas-like texture and is constructed as a light hardcover with some flexibility. The year 2027 is foil-pressed in red on the front and white on the spine, while the back is printed with the original handwritten “Frederick” lettering in bright silver-gray.

Inside, the Weeks features monthly calendars, weekly pages, and plenty of grid-lined memo pages for writing, planning, and recording everyday moments. The thin and durable Tomoe River paper provides a smooth writing experience and holds ink well. A clear, adhesive corner pocket is also included for storing small notes and keepsakes.

The back of the book includes useful bonus pages such as My 100, Favorites, the 365 Days Check-Off Sheet, Phrases to Break That Writer’s Block, and the Hobonichi’s Neighborhood: Kanda/Jinbo-cho Map, along with other reference pages.

If you’d like additional storage or want to customize the look of your Weeks, you can pair it with a Weeks cover.

Notes:

• Tomoe River paper works well with many writing instruments, but some inks may take longer to dry or show through depending on the pen, ink, and conditions. Testing your pens first or using a pencil board or blotting paper is recommended.
• Due to the binding process, slight press marks, whitening, or glossiness may appear on the cover corners. These are unavoidable and are not considered defects.
• Color may transfer through friction or prolonged contact, especially when exposed to water or sweat. Take care when carrying the techo near clothing or other belongings.
