Washi tape is a type of masking tape that originates from Japan, where “washi” refers to traditional Japanese paper made from natural fibers like bamboo, hemp, or the bark of a gampi tree. 


Washi tape is made from this traditional paper which gives it a unique texture and appearance, as well as making it extremely conformable and exceptional at cornering. Washi tape is lightweight, durable, and easy to tear by hand.
