Unsodo Bijutsukai Blue Pigeons Weeks Hardcover Weekly Horizontal Notebook Japanese Edition April Start Monday Start

Carry a piece of historic Japanese art with you every day. The Hobonichi Techo Weeks Unsodo: Bijutsukai (Blue Pigeons) planner features design motifs originally published during the Meiji era by Unsodo, a distinguished Kyoto art publisher founded in 1891 and long known for hand-printed woodblock books.

The cover showcases a dove motif, a traditional Japanese symbol of peace, paired with red lattice, target patterns, and abstract shapes suggesting flower petals and fruit. The year 2026 is foil-pressed in subdued gold. On the back cover, a pattern from Shin Bijutsukai depicts petals scattered across water like small rafts, an image that also calls to mind paper wishes drifting beneath the Milky Way on Tanabata night.

Constructed as a light hardcover with a slight flex, this notebook has a comfortable, flexible feel in the hand. The interior uses thin, lightweight Tomoe River paper, prized for holding ink well and giving a smooth writing experience.

This Japanese-language edition follows a weekly horizontal format with an April start date and a Monday start. Along with weekly planning pages, it includes 73 grid memo pages at the back, plus bonus pages such as Memories 2026 and 12 Switches to Help You Focus. Every order also comes with a clear adhesive corner pocket you can stick anywhere in the book.

Pair it with a Weeks cover if you'd like extra storage or a way to change up the look.
