“A Very Merry Every Day to You” is a daily pad calendar filled with cute and interesting pictures celebrating worldwide holidays and birthdays every day of the year. This cover includes the calendar’s images as created by photographer Machiko Odan, stylist Miyoko Okao, and designer Kaori Okamura.



Attached to this Weeks hardcover book is the coarse, white cloth fabric, with a big picture of the back of a teddy bear on the back of the book. This bear belongs to Miyoko Okao, who discovered the toy at a market in Stockholm. The bear is so cute that you’ll never get sick of looking at it. You’ll also enjoy having it by your side every day of the year.

Included with every book is a pencil board printed with the same design as the back of the book. Using this board under the page you’re writing on makes the planner much more comfortable to use. Printed on the back of the pencil board is a ruler and a list of holidays celebrated in France, the United Kingdom, and the United States.



“A Very Merry Every Day to You” is a phrase taken from the “A Very Merry Unbirthday to You” song from Alice in Wonderland. Similarly influenced by this song is the Hobonichi Techo slogan “Happy Nothing Special Day.” It’s a perfect fit, don’t you think?



Included with the Hobonichi Techo Weeks is a clear, adhesive pocket you can affix to the inside of your cover, and a mini version of the Hobonichi Japan Railway Map 2018, which condenses maps of Japan’s major city railway maps into a single fold-out paper.
