Description
Created in collaboration with the V&A (Victoria and Albert Museum, London), the Hobonichi Weeks 2027 – V&A: Leicester brings the beauty of the Arts and Crafts movement to everyday planning. Inspired by the V&A’s renowned collection, its cover showcases historic botanical designs by John Henry Dearle and William Morris, blending artistic heritage with practical functionality.
The front cover features John Henry Dearle’s 1912 “Leicester” wallpaper design, filled with richly detailed stylized plants and leaves. The back features William Morris’s 1876 “Wreath” wallpaper design, where acanthus leaves intertwine with poppy-like flowers, reflecting Morris’s enduring love of nature.
A gold foil-stamped William Morris quote adds an elegant finishing touch. Made in Japan with a lightweight, slightly flexible hardcover, the planner measures 188 × 94 × 11 mm and weighs approximately 140 g, making it a refined and portable companion for everyday planning.

The main body uses Tomoe River paper, which is thin, lightweight, and durable, and is specially made for planners . It is characterized by its smooth writing feel and easy ink absorption. In addition to monthly and weekly pages, it includes plenty of grid memo pages. As bonus pages at the back, the Japanese version includes the standard "My 100" and "365 Check-Off Sheet," as well as newly added "Opening Phrases for Diary Writing" and "Hobonichi's Neighborhood: Kanda/Jinbo-cho Guide," while the English version includes the standard "My 100" and "365 Days Check-Off Sheet," as well as newly added "Phrases to Break That Writer's Block" and "Hobonichi's Neighborhood: Kanda/Jinbo-cho Map." You can also add a dedicated Weeks cover to increase storage or change the look.
