Where Nostalgia Meets Everyday Planning
Step into a world where storytelling and organization blend seamlessly. The Hobonichi Light Hard Cover English Book – MOTHER: The Secret of MOTHER 2 (Weeks – January Start) is more than a planner—it’s a tribute to the beloved universe of EarthBound, originally crafted by Shigesato Itoi.
Inspired by The Secret of MOTHER 2 exhibition, this edition captures rare development artifacts and transforms them into a tactile, everyday companion—quietly artistic, deeply nostalgic, and thoughtfully functional.
Story Behind the Design
This special edition draws from the 2024 exhibition showcasing original materials from MOTHER 2: Gyiyg Strikes Back!—including clay models that remained hidden for over 30 years.
Photographed in striking monochrome by Hiroshi Hatano, the cover merges these rediscovered figures with iconic in-game text, creating a design that feels both archival and alive.
A subtle yet striking detail—the glossy silkscreen logo on the back—features a gold “2” that quietly glows against the minimal palette.
