Hobonichi 2027 Weeks: V&A Series – Leicester

The Hobonichi Techo, created in collaboration with the V&A (Victoria and Albert Museum, London), celebrates the much-loved Arts and Crafts patterns of William Morris and his creative companions. Drawing from the museum’s unparalleled collections, each techo combines iconic designs with the Hobonichi Techo’s signature style.

This techo celebrates William Morris’ lifelong love of nature and its influence on the Arts and Crafts Movement, pairing John Henry Dearle’s 1912 Leicester wallpaper pattern, with its rich foliage and botanical details, with Morris’ 1876 Wreath wallpaper design, featuring acanthus leaves intertwined with blooming, poppy-like flowers.

Gold-foil embossing bears Morris’ famous words: Have nothing in your houses that you do not know to be useful or believe to be beautiful.

The Hobonichi Techo Weeks comes with a clear, adhesive corner pocket you can stick anywhere you like.

The pages are made of thin and light yet durable Tomoe River paper that holds ink well, providing a smooth writing experience.

In addition to the monthly calendars and weekly pages, there are also plenty of grid-lined memo pages.

The back of the book contains bonus pages. Both the Japanese and English editions feature standard favourites like My 100 and the 365 Days Check-Off Sheet, as well as new additions like Phrases to Break That Writer’s Block and the Hobonichi’s Neighborhood: Kanda/Jinbo-cho Map, among others.

If you’d like to customise the look of your Weeks or add space to store accessories, you can pair it with a Weeks cover.

The V&A celebrates design and creativity in all its forms. It was founded in London in 1852 to advance cultural knowledge, and inspire makers, creators and innovators everywhere through a diverse collection of objects from around the world.

Today, the V&A continues to share a 5,000-year-old story of creativity, through its ever-evolving collection spanning every creative discipline, from art, design, fashion, photography and furniture to theatre, performance, architecture, and ceramics.
