Washi Tape That Does the Decorating For You

Die-cut washi tape is a small Japanese stationery trick: the roll is pre-cut into individual shapes, so instead of a strip of patterned tape you get a run of little bunnies, cakes or shiba inu that peel off one at a time. Made from traditional washi paper, the tape tears cleanly by hand, sticks to paper, card and glass, and lifts off again without tearing or leaving residue.

Use it to seal envelopes and parcels, mark pages, decorate journals and gift wrap, or hand a roll to a child and see what happens. Each roll is about 15 mm wide and 3 metres long.

Designs

Cake, Shiba Inu, Usazawa Family (bunnies), Charmy Pattern and Japanese Sweets.

About the Maker

Mind Wave is a Tokyo stationery company whose characters and patterns have been a quiet fixture of Japanese pencil cases since the 1990s. The designs are gentle, a little odd and always well made.
