Humans have been finding patterns and shapes in the stars for thousands of years, and using them to tell stories and find their way at night. In 1922 the International Astronomical Union (IAU) formalised a list of 88 ‘official’ constellations in the night sky based on Ptolemy's list of Grecian constellations from around the 2nd century CE, and you can see every one of them in this design! You can use this product as a map to guide you on a night-time journey just like humans have been doing for millennia. I’d maybe recommend taking a regular map too though, just in case ;-) Did you know that the name ‘washi’ tape is derived from 'wa' meaning 'Japanese' and 'shi' meaning 'paper'? It’s so versatile - washi tape is tearable, reusable, water resistant and biodegradable. It’s often used for decoration, gift wrapping, scrap booking, and generally jazzing up your life.
