Description

In old Japanese streets, shops displayed signs featuring a single character that indicated their services or products. For example, “Ha” (tooth) represented a dental clinic, “Sake” (alcohol) a liquor store, “Kusuri” (medicine) a pharmacy, and “Hon” (book) a bookstore, making it easy for visitors to understand what each shop offered at a glance.
Each of these single-character signs used different fonts and designs, adding to the unique atmosphere of the streets at the time.

This masking tape features a charming design lined with these distinctive single-character signs (Kanban), letting you enjoy a nostalgic glimpse of traditional Japanese townscapes.

Perfect for gift wrapping, cards, collages, and more, adding a unique touch to your creations. This decorative paper tape is easy to use and remove, making it ideal for a variety of creative projects.
