This pastel painting, titled En Route to Kumamoto Port at Dawn, was created on March 22, 2024. According to Sakaguchi, it depicts “the crisp, cool morning sky before heading out to fish.” Clouds stretch across the dawn sky—those touched by light are painted in white and pale orange, while those in shadow are a soft gray.
From a distance, the artwork may resemble a photograph, but it’s actually created using pastel—a chalk-like medium that Sakaguchi dabs and layers onto white paper, then blends with his fingers.
To capture this warm, handcrafted texture, the cover material was chosen to mimic the look and feel of canvas.
If you’d like storage space or a way to change up the look of your Weeks book, you can customise your book by pairing it with a Weeks cover.
