Junji Ito: Tomie - Knowing Smile A6 Original Size

Order via Japan Rabbit

Wrap your planner in hypnotic horror with the Hobonichi Techo Junji Ito: Tomie - Knowing Smile cover for the A6 Original size. Made of 100% polyester with an iridescent faux-leather finish, the cover shifts color from deep pink on the front to mint green on the back depending on the angle of light. The front illustration, taken from the "Tomie: Adopted Daughter" chapter, shows Tomie giving a cold, condescending smile, her clear eyes and lips boldly printed to capture the arrogant beauty of Junji Ito's most famous character.

The back cover, rendered in mint green, depicts Tomie's signature long black hair and the tear-shaped mole beneath her left eye, finished with her "TOMIE" signature. Above the illustration runs an English message adapted from a line spoken by a male character in the manga: her clear eyes, sweetly tart voice, and the fragrance lingering on her skin, no one could possibly compare to Tomie.

Inside, the sleek black interior hides two unsettling illustrations within the pockets. Peeking out is Tomie reduced to a human-faced tumor, sitting in a trash can yet still commanding a man who obeys her without question. Concealed in the pocket where the techo slips in is a far more disturbing scene: Tomie, multiplied into sake mash, attacking a man while exuding a rich, intoxicating aroma, madness drawn into every line.

This cover brings nearly 40 years of Junji Ito's iconic universe, born from his 1987 debut, straight into your everyday routine. For a matching set, pair it with the Hobonichi Tomie - Green Pencil Board, also sized for the A6 Original techo, or complete the look with sticky notes and stamps from the same Tomie lineup. Let yourself be captivated by her charm, and enjoy a thrillingly eerie year ahead.
