Washi tape is known as “masking tape” in Japan but they have brought masking tape to a whole new art form. Each roll of tape is made from rice paper and has a low adhesion, meaning you can place the pretty pieces on things and lift them off easily. Washi Tape Addicted

I love your ideas for using washi tape!
I have used washi tape to mark different sections in a notebook or journal. Say you have a section for graphite drawings and a section for ink drawings, or different types of shopping lists, whatever. Use a different coloured washi tape for each section. On the long edge of the page place half the width of tape and fold over the tape to the other side of the flipped page. Change colours for each section. This is especially useful for notebooks or journals that are paged through a lot as it reinforces the pages from being turned and handled so often.
