Discover the mt ex Exhibition 2026 in Matsumoto

The charming city of Matsumoto, known for its rich culture and craftsmanship, will host the inaugural "mt ex Exhibition" in Nagano Prefecture from April 23 to May 6, 2026. This event promises to offer visitors an immersive experience into the colorful world of mt masking tape, created by Kamoi Kakoshi Co., Ltd., which is based in Kurashiki City, Okayama Prefecture.

What to Expect at the Exhibition

The mt ex exhibition is designed as an artistic installation, allowing guests to engage with the various facets of the mt brand throughout the venue. The layout features a unique conceptual design that not only emphasizes functionality but also showcases beauty through its space arrangements. The pillars used in the exhibition not only serve as display units but are also adorned with different tape patterns that complement each other beautifully. This year’s main visual incorporates stunning color palettes inspired by the local landscape, including images of newspapers, mountains, and gentian flowers.

In addition to the stunning displays, a special feature of the exhibition is the "mt mini" display in the square outside, where attendees can see the same colorful design reflected. Throughout the exhibition, there will also be limited edition products available, including an exclusive acrylic charm and many other delightful surprises for visitors of all ages.
