Add a burst of bright, lighthearted energy and a brilliantly eccentric charm to your daily creative pages with the Classiky sennokoto Masking Tape in Yellow Face. Created in collaboration with the highly celebrated Japanese embroidery artist sennokoto (Chie Sugawara), this exquisite 1.8cm-wide washi tape features a continuous series of delightfully witty illustrations. Rather than using traditional pen or ink, the artwork is captured entirely from intricate, free-motion embroidery thread-work. Rendered in a vibrant, sun-drenched yellow hue on soft cream paper, the design unrolls to reveal a wonderfully funny, storybook-like world populated by cute characters and animals with quirky, expressive, and slightly awkward human-like faces that are absolutely brimming with humour and fun.
Meticulously manufactured in Japan from premium, high-grade washi paper, this masking tape seamlessly pairs unique artistic expression with everyday utility. It features the beautiful, characteristic translucent quality of traditional Japanese paper, allowing you to layer it elegantly over grid layouts, daily planners, handwritten journal entries, or other coloured tapes to build custom visual depth and texture. The versatile 18mm width provides the perfect space to showcase the rich texture and highly distinctive character details of the sewn lines, making it an incredible choice for custom scrapbooking, bordering your traveller's notebook, framing postcards, or lending a comforting, humorous, and handcrafted aesthetic to outgoing pen-pal letters and gift wrap. It adheres reliably to standard paper surfaces, yet removes cleanly and repositions with absolute ease.
