Origins of MT
Since long ago, paper masking tape has been used industrially in all kinds of ways. Kamoi Kakoshi in
Japan has been making specialty paper adhesives for almost 100 years.
In 2006, the company received an email from 3 women in Tokyo who were using their industrial tapes
in beautiful craft projects. Amazed by this surprising and wonderful usage, Kamoi Kakoshi invited
the women to visit their factory. This visit inspired the development of an entirely new and original
category of tape: MT brand washi tape, colorful tape which is easy to tear by hand and reposition on
nearly any surface without creating damage.
MT washi masking tape is now sold throughout the world in hundreds of colors and patterns.
MT has become a part of daily life, adding a little color everywhere.
Winner of many international awards.
