MOTHERTraveling CompanionsWeeks Hardcover Book (Japanese)
This cover design is an homage to Shigesato Itoi's 1994 Super Nintendo game, MOTHER 2 (EarthBound in North America).
This Weeks book is called Traveling Companions. Ness, Paula, Jeff, and Poo travel together across the front cover, with Mr. Saturn on the back.
The photographs on the cover were made with the precious clay figurines that were made for the player’s guide when MOTHER 2 was released in 1994. You’ll never get tired of studying all the tiny details in these characters.
The background features a purple checkered design reminiscent of the pattern used across the game, including the characters’ HP and PP displays during battle.
The year 2021 is casually printed in white on the bottom right of the front cover.
The corner of the back cover includes the logos for MOTHER and Hobonichi.
Whenever you take out your techo, seeing these four friends is sure to lift your spirits.
This Weeks book includes bonus stickers you can use to mark your techo pages. They’re included on two sheets so you can keep one in perfect shape. Feel free to use these stickers on special days and on days that are nothing special!
Also available for sale is the Mother Pencil Board.
When you order this Hobonichi Techo Weeks, you’ll receive a clear, adhesive corner pocket you can stick anywhere you like.
If you’d like storage space or a way to change up the look of your Weeks book, you can customize your book by pairing it with a Weeks cover.

Please Read Before You Buy
In order to provide you with the most satisfaction for your product, we've compiled a list of warnings, potential issues, and tips to keep in mind for this particular product. Please be sure to read this information carefully before placing your order.
- Test fountain pens before regular use
The Hobonichi Techo's Tomoe River paper is designed to prevent bleed-through, but some fountain pens and water-based ink pens are not compatible with this paper. When switching to a new pen, we recommend testing the pen somewhere in the book, such as the back memo pages, to see if the ink bleeds through or takes an especially long time to dry.
- Cover corners are slightly bumpy and shiny
The corners of the cover contain light traces of press marks, shines, and lumps. This is an unavoidable part of the manufacturing process.
- Use of Cover on Cover is not recommended
We do not recommend using this cover with the Cover on Cover since the PP coated surface of the cover has a tendency to stick to the soft PVC material used in the Cover on Cover under certain temperature and humidity levels.
- Avoid storing in hot and humid places
Please avoid storing your product in hot, humid places or placing it atop other objects for long periods of time as this may result in lower quality and color stains.
