This is an illustrated version of the Clear Cover, which you can put on top of your Hobonichi Techo Weeks to protect it from scuff marks and dirt. Using this in combination with a Weeks with a plain design like the Colors will give it a fresh new look.
Forest Lake is designed by graphic designer and illustrator Yuri Sanae. Inspired by the quiet time spent reflecting with the techo, she illustrated this lake, surrounded by countless flowers and plants in a flourishing forest.
On the lake, a swan is elegantly drifting along. Might the plants also be swaying in the wind? The leaves spread wide into every direction, beautifully coloring the lake. If you look closely, you will find that the flowers and plants come in various shapes. On what would be the back of the cover, a swan elegantly flaps its wings, while butterflies are discreetly hidden within the plants. This design allows for new happy discoveries throughout the year.
This illustration was printed using silk screening. In addition to the yellow, navy and purple accents, white and silver inks are used to add a refined atmosphere to the cute charm of the design.
