Hobonichi 2026 Spring Weeks Junji Ito Tomie - Haunting Beauty [JPN/Tall & Slim/April Start]

Hobonichi 2026 Spring Weeks 

Junji Ito Tomie - Haunting Beauty

Weeks Hardcover Book / Weekly Horizontal / Japanese / April start / Mon start

This Weeks features artwork from Tomie, the debut work and one of the most iconic creations of horror manga artist Junji Ito. Using original illustrations that bring Junji Ito’s one-of-a-kind world to life, the artwork bridges nearly 40 years since his debut in 1987.

The Tomie - Haunting Beauty Weeks features an illustration of an illusory version of Tomie, born from a young girl’s intense admiration. Printed on a matte black cover, the image of Tomie is rendered using glossy silk screen printing to give it a subtle shine. The contrast between the two textures of black brings the artwork to life, capturing Tomie’s haunting beauty and allure.




This illustration is taken from the Tomie: Hair chapter. To recreate the screen tone used in the original manga, shading has been added to her forehead and lips using fine dots. A thick layer of transparent ink has been used to express the lines that highlight her signature features—her long, glossy black hair and the tear-shaped mole beneath her left eye—creating a shifting impression depending on the angle you view it from.




The back cover features an illustration of the scene where a girl discovers a bundle of hair stored in a paulownia box in her father’s study. It marks the beginning of the story, as she imagines the owner of this otherworldly, beautiful black hair. The luster of Tomie’s glossy hair is expressed using gold foil.

When you order this Hobonichi Techo Weeks, you’ll receive a clear, adhesive corner pocket you can stick anywhere you like.




The book uses thin and light yet durable Tomoe River paper. It's characterized by its ability to hold ink well and provide a smooth writing experience.




The Weeks book has space for writing in plans or journal entries, and it also has 71 pages of grid paper memo pages in the back (75 pages in the English edition). The back of the book contains bonus pages, including Memories 2026 and 12 Switches to Help You Focus.
