Kyohei Sakaguchi En Route to Kumamoto Port at Dawn Weeks Hardcover Notebook, Weekly Horizontal, January Start, Monday Start, English or Japanese Edition

Carry a serene piece of dawn wherever you go with this Hobonichi Techo Weeks hardcover planner. The cover features En Route to Kumamoto Port at Dawn, a pastel painting created on March 22, 2024 by Japanese artist Kyohei Sakaguchi.

Sakaguchi lives in Kumamoto, where he creates through painting, writing, music, and photography; he's even called an architect, though he doesn't construct buildings. He captured this morning sky on his smartphone on his way to fish, translating the crisp air and glowing clouds of white, pale orange, and soft gray into layered pastels blended by hand.

The cover material is chosen to mimic the warm look and texture of canvas, bringing out the handcrafted feel of the artwork. On the front, the year 2026 is stamped in understated silver foil, shining softly like the morning star before sunrise.

Designed with a weekly horizontal layout that begins on Monday and starts in January, this planner combines daily functionality with the intimate feel of a personal art gallery.
