A Hobonichi Techo born from a collaboration with the digital handheld pet Tamagotchi, which took the world by storm after its 1996 release. The series, which celebrates its 30th anniversary in 2026, continues to be loved across generations. This Weeks is designed to spark fond memories for those who took care of their own digital pet in the past, but also to bring joy to those who are still lovingly caring for theirs today.

Our Tamagotchi is a Weeks in a bright, light blue with a fabric used for neckties. This design features Tamagotchis from the original Tamagotchi and the New Species Discovered!! Tamagotchi series woven into the fabric. Since this material is normally used for ties, it feels smooth to the touch and has a silky finish.

Rendered in a colorful pixel art style, these Tamagotchis evoke memories of caring for them nearly 30 years ago. They are each striking their own unique poses, and simply looking at them lets you imagine how they would move.

But wait, what do I see among all of the Tamagotchis? Could it be a new member, newly discovered on this Hobonichi Techo: the Techotchi?! Techotchi has a charming pink beak that can hold a pen, and small triangular and square feet. Seems like the Tamagotchis just got a new friend who looks just like a Hobonichi Techo.

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

The book uses thin and light yet durable Tomoe River paper. It's characterized by its ability to hold ink well and provide a smooth writing experience. The Weeks book has space for writing in plans or journal entries, and it also has 71 pages of grid paper memo pages in the back (75 pages in the English edition). The back of the book contains bonus pages, including Memories 2026 and 12 Switches to Help You Focus.
