Washi tape is a Japanese masking tape that comes in a variety of colors and patterns. Washi paper is a type of Japanese paper that was historically handmade using mulberry, bamboo, or rice.

Since washi tape is made of paper, it has a matte texture that is pleasant to the touch. Washi tape has a slight translucence, and white washi tape will blend in with light-colored paper.

Some specialty washi tapes have a finish applied to the surface to make them metallic or pearlescent, and these tapes tend to be more opaque.
