Hobonichi Techo 2025 Spring April Start – MOTHER: Smiles & Tears Weeks Hardcover Book / Weekly Horizontal / Mon start – Japanese Edition –

Features

This Weeks design is based on Shigesato Itoi’s 1994 Super Nintendo game, MOTHER 2 (EarthBound in North America). Its based on the group photos shown during the ending of MOTHER 2.

The cover has a smooth texture with a total of 25 photographs arranged across the design, which were taken by the Camera Man who suddenly appears in front of Ness and friends and takes their photo.

Theres the moment the main character Ness leaves the house to go on his adventure, and all the new places he explores alongside the friends he meets along the way. If youve played MOTHER 2, youll find photos filled with memories. These sepia-tone photos are printed within gold frames.

When you open this techo, youll see a custom endpaper exclusive to this design. It shows the elusive genius cameraman pointing his camera at you.

Look at the camera…
Ready…
Say, fuzzy pickles.

The ending credits for MOTHER 2 are more touching the more memories youve captured in photographs. This techo, too, will serve as a wonderful book of memories when you fill it with everyday things.

This techo comes with a Kraken Zip-up Bag based on one of the iconic boss characters in MOTHER 2. Now you can have this monster of the sea, feared by all sailors, swallow up the items you use frequently.

You can store sticky notes, lip balm, medicine, or other small items in this palm-sized clear case to stop them from scattering about in your bag. When you pull it out of your bag, feel free to use it and exclaim dramatically:

H…h…here it coooomes!

There are a total of 5 MOTHER collaboration covers in the 2025 Hobonichi Techo lineup. Theres an A6 and A5 cover with the Ness Bike design, an A6 and A5 size HON book with the You come buying? You can sell, too. design, and a Weeks book with the Smiles & Tears design.

The cover has been constructed as a light hardcover book with some give to it so it still bends.

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

The book uses thin and light yet durable Tomoe River paper. This paper that underwent an overhaul with the 2024 edition techo is more resistant to bleed through, lighter despite being the same thickness, and has a smoother surface by adjusting the fibers of the paper.

The Weeks book has space for writing in plans or journal entries, and it also has 69 pages of grid paper memo pages in the back. The back of the book contains bonus pages, including Sample Symbols and Icons and Oodles of Noodles.
