Celebrate your year of planning in 2025 with the animal of the year in Japanese zodiac - the snake, from Hobonichi's Bow & Tie series!  The Bow & Tie series is covered with the same textured, shiny fabric used in neckties. The material has a beautiful gloss and is soft to the touch. 

In the Snake Toy pattern, toy-like snakes are lined up on a light gray-beige cover. The design has a cute retro feel, like toys that change shapes when played with. The necktie weave expresses even the most minor details of the snakes in various poses. The fabric used for neckties has a weave texture that is pleasant to the touch and has an appealing silky luster.

It would be great to have it as a good-luck item; the snake is the animal of the Japanese zodiac for the year 2025. You can find snakes with unique expressions, such as bending in an S-shape, coiling, and a gentleman snake with a silk hat and a pipe in its mouth.

The book uses thin and light yet durable Tomoe River paper. This paper that underwent an overhaul with the 2024 edition techo 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). The back of the book contains bonus pages, including Sample Symbols and Icons and Oodles of Noodles. 

And last but not least when you order this Hobonichi Techo Weeks, you’ll receive a clear, adhesive corner pocket you can stick anywhere you like.
