Hobonichi Weeks 2026 Junji Ito: Tomie - Haunting Beauty [Japanese/April Start]

This planner is in Japanese with an April 2026 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.

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.

Also available is the Hobonichi Tomie - Pink Pencil Board for the Weeks. We recommend using them together as a set.

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.
