mt x SOU.SOU 15mm Washi Tape – Kon-Tsukumo

The mt x SOU.SOU Kon-Tsukumo Washi Tape wears its numerals with complete composure. Deep indigo figures march across a clean white ground, taken from the Kyoto design house SOU.SOU and printed by mt onto a single 15mm roll of Japanese washi paper. It is a pattern with a proper sense of order, which makes it unusually good at bringing order to whatever you stick it to.

The paper is thin and slightly matt, so you feel the surface beneath rather than a layer of plastic sitting on top. It tears cleanly between finger and thumb, holds where you put it, and lifts away again without argument. Ink sits on it happily, which is more useful than it sounds.
