Hobonichi Weeks 2026 - Makoto Matsubayashi: Dot

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.

The cover has a glossy finish that enhances the contrast between the black and white, giving the design both a refined and playful feel.

Take a closer look and you’ll spot something special—tiny hand-drawn flowers tucked here and there among the dots. Each one is unique, adding a whimsical touch to the minimalist design.

The year 2026 is subtly stamped on the cover using blind embossing.

This design is part of a wider collection that includes stationery and accessories to match your techo cover or Weeks.

Why not spend your 2026 alongside this charming Weeks design by Makoto Matsubayashi?
