It took an e-mail, a factory tour, two handmade books and the persistence of three women—a gallery owner, a graphic designer and a collage artist—to finally convince Kamoi Kakoshi, a Japanese company that had been producing flypaper and industrial masking tape for decades, to release more colorful rolls of their beloved tape. Since its successful launch in 2006, MT Masking Tape, Kamoi’s line of fun and functional rice paper tapes or washi tapes, has inspired other companies to release their own versions of the decorative tape.
