Shinzi Katoh Japanese Washi Tape – Okame & Hyottoko

A distinctly Japanese washi tape illustrated by Shinzi Katoh, featuring the traditional faces of Okame and Hyottoko.

These two instantly recognisable characters have a long history in Japanese popular culture and traditional performing arts. Okame – also known as Otafuku – is depicted with a round, smiling face and is associated with happiness and good fortune. Hyottoko, with his comically puckered mouth and humorous expression, is another familiar figure seen in Japanese festival dances and traditional masks.

Shinzi Katoh reinterprets these two characters in his gentle, playful style, creating a design that feels both traditional and contemporary. The illustrations are printed on Japanese washi paper, whose soft texture and slightly translucent appearance complement the nostalgic character of the design.

A lovely choice for anyone interested in Japanese culture, this tape can be used for journaling, Traveler's Notebooks, scrapbooking, letters, cards, gift wrapping and other creative projects.
