Paddington™ Please look after this bear. Thank you. Weeks Hardcover Book / Weekly Horizontal / JPN edition / Apr start / Mon start

The title character from the children’s book published in 1958, A Bear Called Paddington , is now available on a Hobonichi Techo Weeks book cover. Paddington™ is a bear who traveled alone from Peru to England, and lives with the Brown family in London. He wears a trademark red hat and blue coat, and loves marmalade sandwiches. He writes letters about his daily life and sends them to his Aunt Lucy in the Home for Retired Bears where she lives in Peru. The Weeks cover design has a pale cream-colored background and an image of Paddington wearing his red hat and holding a suitcase. The cover has been constructed as a light hardcover book with some give to it so it still bends, and is made with cloth with a fine, uneven texture. The year 2025 is foil-printed in gold, which sparkles in the light to give the book a strong sense of presence. The book spine stands out with the title “Please Look After This Bear. Thank You,” printed onto the isolated blue on the spine. This is the title of the first chapter of the children’s book, as it’s the message written on a tag around Paddington’s neck when he first met the Browns. The back cover shows a monochrome image of the back of Paddington, giving the Weeks book a cute yet stylish look that adults can also enjoy. You can also buy a pencil board that matches the color scheme to use as a set. Paddington’s hearty curiosity has him trying all kinds of new things, and we hope you can spend 2025 alongside him, making exciting memories. In addition to the techo, our Paddington™ lineup includes stationery and accessories that make a great set when used together.
