I've tried lots of different washi tapes but Japanese made (MT is my favourite) is the only way to go. It's easy to unroll, doesn't tear or shred or get glued to itself. The best, right down to the last inch on a roll. Love.
My favorite washi tape. Forgot to purchase thru my Online Japanese stationary suppllies vendor, so had to suck it up & pay Xtra thru Amaz**. The White Washi is SO USEFUL, I find I need Multiples everywhere... Gr8 for Labeling, pricing, you name it. Opaque enough & can be written on.
I have a whole lot of super cutesy washi tape but I needed some washi for a more utilitarian project and realized I was under-stocked in solid colors. I first ordered in the Bright and was so pleased with the price point that I came back and got the darker set (which at the time was listed as “abdominal” for some reason). If you’re used to really thick and opaque washi, know that this stuff is true Japanese washi (aka “maste”) and so it’s quite thin and not as opaque. It’s by no means poor quality, quite the opposite, it’s just that so many cheap brands make decorative tapes that aren’t quite the real deal. MT is super easy to tear—without being flimsy—and it removes with ease. The colors in the Bright version are all pretty standard pastels but the shades in the darker set are quite unusual and moody and may not immediately matchy match your other art goods in the roughly corresponding colors. Great buy, quick shipping, nice price. The 15mm size is so easy to work with and can be cut down if needed.
