Moomin was created in 1945 by Tove Jansson, Finland’s beloved author, painter, and artist. This year, the world of those stories has once again been brought to life as a special edition Weeks techo, featuring plenty of quotes and original illustrations from the novels. It is a techo that lets you happily spend the year alongside the friends of Moominvalley.
Wrapped in a cover made from necktie fabric with a beautiful sheen and a pleasant woven texture, the techo is designed to feel like a light hardcover book with some give to it. Against a deep green background, Snufkin goes about his day in his own free-spirited way — fishing, playing music, and enjoying life.
Bronze lamé thread is woven into the ornaments on Snufkin’s hat, adding a subtle shimmer. Every detail has been brought to life with necktie weaving techniques. The year 2027 is foil-pressed in gold
Among the scenes depicted, you’ll also find Snufkin spending time together with Moomintroll.
The weekly pages feature quotes from the friends of Moominvalley, excerpted from the novels, on every single page. In addition to memorable quotes from characters like Snufkin and Little My, you will also find words from Joxter and others. We selected these from a variety of novels so you can meet as many friends as possible.
These pages and the memo pages also feature many illustrations selected from the novels. You can enjoy using your techo while picturing scenes from the stories through the quotes and illustrations.
The monthly calendar pages also feature illustrations from the novels. Along with a different scene featured each month, we added small illustrations to the checkbox area at the bottom of the right page.
There are also bonus pages filled with illustrations chosen from the comics. These include a character introduction page for Moominvalley, as well as pages where you can write down experiences you have gathered throughout the year, such as “adventures I’ve had” and “delicious things I’ve eaten.”
Additionally, the standard bonus pages at the back of the book are packed with Moomin illustrations. These include a page where you can record the measurements of your body and personal items, and a page to list 100 things based on a theme of your choice.
The front endpaper you see right when you open the cover features an exclusive design for the Moomin Special Edition. It feels as if Moomin is there to welcome you at the very start of your techo. We also selected the colors of the two bookmarks to perfectly match the world of Moomin.
The back endpaper has a design with flowers and shells, with Hattifatteners hidden throughout.

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

We’ve compiled a list of warnings, potential issues, and tips to keep in mind for this particular product. Additionally, the color of the product may be slightly different in actuality than compared to how it appeared on a computer or smartphone screen.
You may notice press marks, slight whitening, or a glossy finish on the corners of the front and back covers. These are unavoidable results of the binding process.
The patterned fabric has not been aligned to a specific layout, so the placement of each design will vary by product. The product will not be an exact replica of the one in the product photographs.
The material in this product snags easily on sharp objects, so please handle with care.
The Tomoe River paper designed for planners is known for its thinness and smooth writing surface. However, depending on the type and amount of ink or pen used—as well as environmental conditions—some ink may bleed through or take longer to dry. We recommend testing your pens on an inconspicuous area first, or using a pencil board or blotting paper for best results.
