Mini Medaka No Tamago Lace Tape | Pavilio

Mini Medaka No Tamago lace tape carries a small, evenly spaced die-cut dot pattern running the length of slim 10mm black washi. The name 'medaka no tamago' translates to 'rice fish eggs' in Japanese, and the design borrows that visual rhythm, like a steady row of round openings. Layer it over a colored background and each cut-out becomes a tiny window for the color beneath. At just 10mm wide, it is a slim accent that adds graphic detail without taking over a page.

Notes from The Fox

This is the tape we keep close for any layout that wants pattern without color noise. The die-cut dots read as quiet rhythm, and the slim width makes it easy to layer with anything else. It also works as a stand-in for a divider line when a planner page needs structure, and we use it often on minimalist journal spreads.

FAQ

Q: What makes lace tape different from regular washi tape?
A: Pavilio's lace tape is precision die-cut into decorative patterns, so the washi paper has actual cut-out shapes running through it. Standard washi tape is a solid strip with no cut-outs, which makes lace tape feel more like a paper trim than a typical roll of tape.

Q: How wide is this tape?
A: 10mm, which is about 0.4 inches. It is a slim accent width, narrower than a standard 15mm washi tape, so the lace pattern reads quieter and more delicate.

Q: How fragile is the lace pattern?
A: It is more delicate than standard washi tape, so handle the roll gently and avoid stretching the tape when you apply it. The die-cut structure holds up well once placed on a flat surface.
