Infuse a playful, artistic charm into your journaling and crafting with the Classiky Toranekobonbon Washi Tape. This tape is a captivating collaboration with the celebrated Japanese artist and chef Naoko Nakanishi, known for her traveling pop-up restaurant and whimsical animal illustrations under the name Toranekobonbon (meaning "Tiger-Cat Bonbon").
This Cat A design features a continuous, lively parade of watercolor cats in various poses—some stretching, some curled up, all rendered in Nakanishi's distinctive, soft, and expressive style. Crafted from traditional, high-quality Japanese Washi paper, the tape offers a delicate, semi-translucent texture. The generous 2cm width and 7 metres length make it perfect for creating eye-catching borders, dividing journal spreads, or sealing envelopes with a touch of character. The tape adheres reliably but is designed to be removable, ensuring it peels away cleanly without damaging your precious paper surfaces. This whimsical design is an essential piece of Japanese stationery for cat lovers and creative minds alike.
