Hobonichi 2026 Weeks: Yumi Kitagishi - White Cat’s Daily Life
Description
Yumi Kitagishi is an illustrator gaining attention in Japan and beyond, and her work has been turned into a Weeks again this year. This 2026 version showcases the full charm of her drawings once more.
The world created by Kitagishi in acrylic gouache draws you in, quietly making you imagine the stories or settings behind each piece for a special kind of wonder. Both nostalgic and exciting, her illustrations perfectly capture the charm of a picture book. The theme for this Weeks is a “White Cat’s Daily Life.”
The day she placed a candle on a cake and celebrated. The day she dressed herself up with a ribbon. The day she enjoyed leisurely hanging out with her stuffed teddy. All of the wonderful moments the white cat experienced in her everyday life are recorded in a vivid memory board.
Both the front cover and the spine showcase the year 2026, and the number on the spine is handwritten by Kitagishi herself. While the number on the front is pressed with silver foil, the one on the spine is in a pink foil, with both shining beautifully as they catch the light.
Once again included this year is an exclusive brand card with an original design. If you use it as a bookmark, opening your techo will become even more fun.
