Hobonichi Techo Weeks 2023 Eri Shimatsuka: Mänty Spring

Hobonichi Techo Weeks 2023 Mänty features a design by the textile designer and illustrator Eri Shimatsuka, who lives in Finland.

Her designs evoke the warm, gentle view toward nature that comes from spending everyday life amid Finland’s lush greenery. Mänty is Finnish for “pine tree,” and this book has a laid-back pine tree design.

Look closely and you’ll see that the green on each branch has different patterns. The design’s allure comes from the way it blends dignified with cute. Its base color is white to let the vibrant green really pop.
