Miki Tamura – Star & Wooden Horse – Washi Tape

A washi tape made from… washi tape? Japanese artist Miki Tamura creates her charming illustrations by tearing, layering, and playing with pieces of masking tape—letting the different colors, patterns, and textures become part of the artwork itself. And now, those tiny handmade worlds have found their way back onto a roll of washi tape.

Star & Wooden Horse feels like a little childhood dream: playful, nostalgic, and full of the kind of details you want to look at twice. Tear off a small piece for a journal entry, use it beside an old photograph, decorate a letter, or let it wander across an entire page. It’s the perfect washi tape to get ready for Christmas and winter dreams! We especially love the full-circle idea: masking tape turned into art, then turned back into masking tape for you to make something new with.

Made in Japan, 20mm × 7m.
