Japan Imported KASHIKO Kanazawa Kutani Ware Washi Masking Tape – Striped Horse / Art by Yasunari Yamachika

This masking tape, featuring a striped horse design by Kutani ware artist Yasunari Yamachika, depicts a horse with white and red stripes gracefully galloping through a field. Born into a family renowned for Kutani ware, Yasunari Yamachika grew up surrounded by this traditional Japanese porcelain. From the world painted with Kutani's five classic colors—red, green, purple, yellow, and blue—he discovered the beauty of color and learned the techniques of free expression, crafting a fantastical and unique worldview. Unlike the usual black and white stripes of a zebra, the artist has utilized Kutani ware's traditional red in place of black to depict a playfully striped horse running through a field. The background incorporates the classic Japanese "Yohraku Mon" (瓔珞紋) pattern to represent the sun, creating an intriguing interplay with the striped horse motif.
