They all were proficient in Latin. From the Middle Ages until about the middle of the 20th century, Latin was a central part of a manâs schooling in the West.

Originally marketed as Japanese Masking Tape, at some point the accepted international term for the tape became washi tape. In Japan, it's known as masking tape (ãã¹ã­ã³ã°ãã¼ã) and the most renowned brand of washi tape is simply called mt-which stands for masking tape.The term washi tape refers to the fact that the tapes are made from Japanese rice paper and differentiates it from typical masking tape you might find in the hardware store.e often hear that washi tape is pricy-but we don't think it is. We like to compare it to ribbon rather than to other tapes. Most of our rolls of washi tape have a generous 15 metres (almost 50 feet!) of tape. If you buy a single roll at $4.50, that's only $0.30 per metre.
