Japanese Masking Tapes

Masking tape is one of my favourite shopping items these days. Do you remember what is your first roll(s), when and where you got them from? I got my first few roll of masking tapes from Loft at Shibuya, Tokyo in Apr 2010. I used them to wrap presents, stick posters or notes on the wall and label note books. It's only in 2011 that I started to use them in my scrapbooking projects and since then, I can't stop loving them and buying new ones. My favourite brands are MT, Marks, Colte and Classiky. I find that MT has the best quality as they are sticky and yet very forgiving.

Other than Japan, countries like Korea and China are also making masking tapes. I bought a few from Korea and their designs are pretty but the stickiness depends on the weather and temperature. I find that they are less sticky when I used in Korea as it was cold and dry. However, they turns out ok when I used them in Singapore. As for those that are made in China and sold in Japan like the "fun tape",  I have only tried them in Singapore and their stickiness is acceptable. However, I don't like the glossy look and crispy tearing cut as I find it more difficult to blend into my scrapbooking projects.  I guess the reason why they have a more crispy cut is that may be they were not using 和紙 (Rice paper) or for sure different paper and rubber formula.
