Created in collaboration with Japanese chigiri-e artist Miki Tamura, the “Kawabe” clear tape captures the peaceful beauty of riverside scenery through her signature torn-paper collage style. Soft textures, layered colours, and delicate landscape details create a calm and atmospheric design that feels both nostalgic and beautifully artistic.
Made using transparent PET material, this clear tape blends effortlessly onto journal pages, scrapbooks, gift wrapping, and mixed media projects. The transparent background allows the artwork to appear naturally integrated into the page, making it especially effective for layering and collage-style decoration. The gentle riverside motifs and painterly textures bring a quiet sense of warmth and storytelling to any creative project.
Unlike perforated sticker-style tapes, the Kawabe design comes as a continuous 3-metre roll, giving you the freedom to create seamless borders, flowing scenes, and larger decorative compositions. The tape can still be easily torn by hand, making it wonderfully convenient for everyday journaling and crafting.
Part of the SAIEN artist collaboration series and proudly made in Japan, this premium clear tape combines artistic expression with practical usability. The removable adhesive allows for easy repositioning without damaging paper or leaving sticky residue behind, making it ideal for planners, collage art, stationery projects, and creative gift wrapping.
