A little history about kamon…
Honestly speaking, this is a special Kamon mt tape in today’s Journal. This particular patterned tape looks abstract, yet you can find red rabbit, yellow bird, blue bird, red butterfly, flowers, umbrella, small lantern, and some other shapes like circles.

According to Wikipedia, kamon is a Japanese emblem used to decorate and identify an individual or family. From what I understand, to put it simply, it’s a special symbol or mark to recognize a family.
Can I say it’s kind of similar to a company logo or the last name (or surname) that we have?
You can know who they belong to by just looking at kamon.
From the source I’ve found, it has more than 800 years of history! The original designs had about 200 types, but now they’ve expanded to 20,000 types (variations) and above.
The types of designs can be anything, for instance, flower, bird, horse, star, moon, nature, and many more. The style is simple, neat, graceful, and elegant.
Hence, you can find such a design in this Kamon mt masking tape.
It’s better not to further the explanation over here. If you are interested in knowing more about the history, you may click the link above.
Even though it is just washi tape, sometimes it’s good to find out a little bit more about the history, background, and design motive.
Is there anything interesting behind the design?
Is there something you can learn from the design?
I believe the knowledge you acquire will help your design better by just knowing a little more.
You know, I should have done this.
It’s my mistake for not finding out the history beforehand.
All I can think of is…
Why not use mt ex kamon masking tape to adorn the page today since the quote (image) has a lot of flowers and bushes behind the little girl? Birds and rabbits can be found in such places, right?
On the right side of the journal, the gold color tape is added to kind of blend in with kamon mt tape. Besides, you can cut the pictures out separately and use them as stickers.
It’s just a simple intention. This is because I found it hard to use at first. Not sure of a better way to decorate it.
