These washi tape stickers are vertically printed with omikuji fortunes and Japanese eye exams.



Washida Daigaku was launched four years ago by a washi paper seller founded in 1948 in Osaka. The company wanted to explore and introduce new ways for people to enjoy washi paper and created the new brand with the motto “practical and useless.” The stickers and washi tape have fun and silly designs. The material is thin yet strong, and its beautiful, slight transparency and the warm look of the fibers on the hand-ripped edges provide the full charm of washi paper.



The Omikuji designs contain nine of the results found in fortune-telling charms available at Japanese temples:
大吉 - great blessing
中吉 - middle blessing
小吉 - small blessing
吉 - blessing
半吉 - half-blessing
末吉 - future blessing
末小吉 - future small blessing
凶 - curse
大凶 - great curse



You can play with these stickers by pasting them on your daily pages, putting them on a message to a friend, or sticking them on gifts when handing them out to several people to add a little fun.



The Eye Exam design actually functions as an eye exam if you put it on your techo page or a wall and view it from 2.5 meters away. (This would measure eyesight levels from 0.2 to 1.5.) In a Japanese eye test, the patient points in the direction the circle is open. This stickers could end up being a nice conversation starter.
