✦ Answers ✦
Washi tape is crafted from natural fibres — traditionally kozo (paper mulberry), gampi, or mitsumata. Our dark gothic series uses premium washi paper that combines natural fibre content with modern printing durability. The result is a tape that is thin, flexible, slightly translucent, and has a soft matte surface ideal for writing or drawing on.
No. Washi tape uses a low-tack adhesive specifically designed to be repositionable and residue-free. It peels cleanly from notebooks, planners, walls, envelopes, glass jars, and most smooth surfaces. For very delicate surfaces (antique paper, certain painted walls) we recommend testing on a small area first.
Yes. The matte washi surface accepts ballpoint pen, pencil, and most gel pens well. Felt-tip markers may bleed slightly on thinner washi — test on the end of the roll first. The surface holds graphite and ballpoint the most reliably.
Washi tape tears best when pulled at a roughly 45-degree angle against the roll. Hold the roll firmly with one hand and tear sideways — the fibrous edge created is part of its characteristic aesthetic. For a perfectly straight edge, use scissors or a craft knife against a ruler. The natural torn edge is preferred by most journalers for its organic look.
Washi tape is water-resistant but not fully waterproof. Light splashes or humidity are generally fine, but prolonged exposure to water will affect the adhesive and may cause the colours to bleed. For outdoor or moisture-heavy applications, we recommend sealing over the tape with a clear matte varnish or Mod Podge.
Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat. Washi tape should be kept away from humidity, which can weaken the adhesive over time. Rolling it back on the core after use keeps it clean. Many collectors store their rolls in clear acrylic organisers or washi tape dispensers to maintain their shape.
This product is not designed or tested for skin use. It is a stationery and craft tape intended for paper, journals, planners, packaging, and decorative objects. We do not recommend applying it to skin.
Absolutely — this is one of its best applications. The semi-translucent quality allows you to layer strips over existing art or photos while still seeing the content beneath. The gothic motifs add mood and atmosphere to any spread. Strips can be layered, overlapped, and torn for different effects. It adheres to most art journal papers without buckling thinner pages.
Each design in the dark gothic collection was developed specifically for this series with illustration and pattern work done in-house. The motifs — skulls, thorned vines, crescent moons, dark roses, and bats — are original illustrations printed on premium washi stock. They are not sourced from generic clip-art libraries.
Custom orders — including bespoke widths, lengths, design modifications, and fully custom illustrated patterns — are available for wholesale and bulk quantities. Contact us with your specific requirements and we will provide full information on minimum order quantities, lead times, and sampling options.
Product Detailed Description
1. Product Features and Advantages
Illustration-First Design Each roll carries an original hand-illustrated pattern — skulls framed by thorned vines, crescent moons, and dark botanical motifs — rendered in a cold-clash palette of deep charcoal, icy violet, and muted silver. The aesthetic is subculture-authentic: gothic, bold, non-commercial, and unapologetically dark.
Premium Washi Paper Base Made on genuine Japanese washi paper with natural fibre content. The surface is lightly textured, matte, and semi-translucent — which means underlying pages, photos, or art show through slightly when layered, creating depth without covering your work entirely.
Low-Tack, Residue-Free Adhesive The pressure-sensitive adhesive is repositionable and peels cleanly from paper, glass, notebooks, and smooth painted walls without leaving glue marks or tearing surface fibres.
Writable Surface Ballpoint pen, pencil, and most gel pens write directly on the tape face — ideal for journaling notes, date markers, labels, and custom lettering inside your spreads.
Semi-Translucent Layering Layer strips over existing artwork or photographs. The translucency lets the content beneath remain partially visible, so the tape adds mood rather than hiding your work.
