Junji Ito Tomie Knowing Smile A6 Cow Leather Book Cover

Order via Japan Rabbit

Wrap your A6 Hobonichi Techo in the sinister elegance of legendary horror manga artist Junji Ito. The Tomie Knowing Smile cover is crafted from iridescent faux leather that shimmers from deep pink on the front to mint green on the back. On the front, Tomie wears a cold, condescending smile straight from the Tomie: Adopted Daughter chapter; her clear eyes and lips are boldly printed, and her features shift in color as light catches the surface.

The mint green back highlights Tomie's long black hair, her defining tear-shaped mole, her printed signature, and an English quote describing her irresistible charm. Open the sleek black interior to find hidden artwork tucked inside the pockets: a dark scene of Tomie multiplied into a sake mash, attacking a man, and a peek at her tumor form sitting in a trash can, still commanding obedience. Since her debut in 1987, Tomie has fascinated readers as an immortal siren who drives her admirers to madness, making this cover a striking piece for fans of Japanese horror history.

This beautifully unsettling design suits Tomie's extravagant, exacting persona: an invitation to let her charm haunt your year ahead.

Restock orders for this 2026 release are scheduled to ship around early to mid January 2026, with Tobichi store sales in Tokyo and Kyoto beginning around early to mid December. It pairs naturally with the matching A6 Green Pencil Board, along with sticky notes and stamps from the same official Junji Ito lineup.
