Tadanori Yokoo109-Faced PainterWeeks Hardcover Book (Japanese)

      This cover fully features 109-Faced Painter, a piece by artist Tadanori Yokoo. This artwork was the main feature of Yokoo’s solo exhibition of the same title.



      Now over 80 years of age, Yokoo is still a prolific artist showing no sign of slowing down; with an endless passion for painting and an insatiable curiosity, he calls himself “Kai-jin,” a wordplay in Japanese which means both a painter and a phantom. This cover encapsulates Yokoo’s esprit, which comes through like electricity. Why not take this powerful piece of art along with you for the whole year?



      The year 2019 and Hobonichi’s logo are embossed without color to keep the nuances of the artwork intact.

      When you order this Hobonichi Techo Weeks, you’ll receive a clear, adhesive corner pocket and a mini-size fold-out Hobonichi Japan Railway Map 2019.

      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.

      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.
