2024 Hobonichi Techo Weeks Planner Tomitaro Makino: Shihai Sumire

About this item

• COLLABORATION - This cover is created from the botanical illustration of Shihai Sumire, published by botanist Dr. Tomitaro Makino in 1891. The purple flower that blooms in the spring in Tosa, Dr. Makino’s birthplace, got its name—Shihai Sumire, “purple-backed violet” in Japanese—from the color of the underside of the leaves. The botanical illustrations, born from a keen eye for observation, knowledge, and experience, make this techo an ideal companion for your daily life.
