Hobonichi Weeks Makoto Matsubayashi: Dot April 2026 Start

Spring 2026 version, from April 2026 to March 2027. Available in Japanese only. On sale from February 1st at 12:00 AM (UK time).

This Weeks features a drawing by printmaker and artist Makoto Matsubayashi, who is based in Kochi Prefecture.

Painted with free-flowing brushstrokes, white dots stand out boldly against a black background. Though the design is refreshingly simple, with no extra embellishment, the subtle wavering and fading of the hand-drawn lines bring a gentle warmth to the overall look.

If you’d like storage space or a way to change up the look of your Weeks book, you can customise your book by pairing it with a Weeks cover.
