the other day,V6 Okada's radio program "Growing Reed"I made a guest appearance.
Okada -san was a friendly person, and because he was the same generation, he enjoyed talking about his children. Okada was a beard handsome actor who had a beard and became astringent.
Thank you to Okada -san and everyone who supported the program behind the scenes!
The programHere。
The theme that I heard was how the active stamp shop perceives and feels about topics such as "De -Hanko" and "New Normal" that occurred in pandemic? That was the purpose.
Since it is a broadcast only in the Kanto region, I will write it here only.
◆ About the tide of removal Hanko
As I said on the broadcast, I personally do it.
"It should not be used uniformly, it should not be left uniformly."I think.
Looking at the current tide, I feel that there are some things that are a little emotional because of the world's anxiety, so I think it was about time to stop and think about the Hanko culture with a bird's -eye view. increase.
◆ History that stamps are now used
The first thing you need to think about stamps is, "Why did Hanko be used in Japan?"
For more information, I wrote it on my personal blog, so please see for details.
If you just say the frame, it will be as follows.
・ As tools and treasures of figures transfer
Jomon period -Nara period
Keywords: "Tanmen", "Kinkan", "Transition Trade"
・ As a practical seal of the government
Nara era -Late Heian period
Keywords: "Ritsuryo System" "Sui Sui / Tang Dynasty"
・ As a practical seal of the people
Sengoku period -modern
Keywords: "Hanoshi", "Bungei politics", "Meiji New Government"
In the old days, from the Jomon period to the present age, Hanko was a tool beside Japan's history.
At one point, it has been used as a symbol of authority, and sometimes as a proof of trust, as a mirror that reflects that era.
◆ Was Japan a signing culture in the past?
If you look at the flow mentioned above, you will notice that there is a strange part.
that's right. Actually, there was a time when stamps were not used for about 550 years from the late Heian period to the war.
So what were you using?
that's right.signWhat is it?
What about the Japanese version"Hanashi"I call it.
You may have seen it.
Okada -san
"Before doing a historical drama, I will enter from the practice of" Hanashi "! "I told you.
That means that "Hanoshi" was an indispensable thing for the warlord.
Kanbe Kuroda
◆ What is the reason for the resurrection of stamps?
Why did the Sengoku warlords of the "Hanashi" are revived?
The answer is,
"Hanako is troublesome"It was. Imagine the Warring States period.
The warlords in various places repeated the "expedition" for the war.
At that expedition, he was fighting to separate life and death.
In such a battlefield, in order to write "Hanoshi", besides paper"Brush, inkstone, ink, water"Is required.
Of course, you have to write the characters well because of the dignity.
I couldn't afford that.
Compared to this, it is a stamp"Paper and vermilion"If there is, you can press the pom pom on the battlefield, and a cool seal will be transferred as many times as you want.
Proof of "fast", "beautiful", "high reproducibility"I was able to write.
Also, the fact that there was "proxy" is one of the benefits of Hanko. Simply put, it can be left to your subordinates (laughs)
Of course, stamps must be done properly. It may have been suitable for the ethnicity of the Japanese who values loyalty.
in shortHanko is used because it is "convenient"It was like that.
That? wait a minute.
The story that this "convenient" has come to be used, isn't it exactly the opposite of the presentation?
What is this?
◆ Sign or stamp, which one do you use!?
In the Edo period, the class of "merchants and townspeople" rises relatively against the backdrop of "Literature Politics", and Hanko spreads to the people.
The stamps used at this time are the same "seal" and "seal" as modern times.
In other words, the roots of Hanko as a custom of the people were in the Edo period.
So why was Hanko spread among common people, not a sign?
There are several reasons, but one of them"Characteristic rate"Is raised.
There are various theories about the literacy rate in the Edo period, but there are records that were 63%of the self -signed rate.
(Simple comparison is difficult, but this figure is higher than in other countries)
The impact of the growing "status of the common people" and the fact that the educational system "Terakoya" was generally penetrated is great.
However, about 60 % of it is not a sign as a means of authentication of the common people.
In fact, in the early Meiji era, the "Boshin War" in the Hanko world, "Which of the signs or stamps," broke out.
"The Ministry of Justice I want to sign"
"The Ministry of Finance and financial institutions want to maintain stamps"
Result is···
The latter won.
One of the reasons for becoming the latter was "literacy rate".
It was determined that it was too early to sign only.
Click here for those who are worried about other reasons.
◆ Can you remove Hanko?
In conclusion, I think it can be feasible if the disadvantages of IT are tolerated in society. especially"Confirmation of intention"I think the stamp is going on and on.
Hanko that has been used as a custom. Everyone has no stamps sold at a 100 yen shop, so it is a discomfort that the notification is not passed. 。
To be honest, I think that everyone felt somehow.
I think these irrational stamps are unnecessary.
So is it better to eliminate all stamps for the world? So
I don't think it can be said unconditionally.
One of the reasons is "security".
At first glance, I think that managing it with IT seems to be more security, but in fact."Convenience" and "Security" are trading off (inverted proportion)There is. I think this is a deeper understanding of the vulnerabilities in the IT industry with higher security specialty.
On the other hand, analog stamps are in modern timesBecause it is an "inconvenient thing", "high security"That's it. It is ironic.
Moreover, there are only three countries (other South Korea, Taiwan) in the world, including Japan, including Hanko culture.
That means that the merit of the malicious side is low.
In addition, if tens of thousands of counterfeit seals are physically carved or sealed with paper certificates, "seals / seals counterfeit" once they are broken, a huge amount of reproduction (repeat the same thing is repeated (repeat the same thing. ) Digital data counterfeiting made of easy "0" and "1".
Which do you want to aim for if you are the evil officer of the peace?
In short, the security in social units, not individual units, is
Not "latest technology" = "high security"
"Investment to aim> Available returns" = "High security"You can also think of it.
Change the idea of securityThen the appearance changes. It's interesting.

◆ The value of analog in the digital society
The inconvenience of the digital noticed by telework.
Did many people feel this in 2020?
For example, how did you feel a web meeting?
"The conversation will be covered"I guess many people feel like that.
This is probably compared to direct meetingsThe amount of information is overwhelmingly poorI think it will happen from.
I went to face -to -face meetings, face -to -face sales, face -to -face meals, and at the time, I didn't feel anything, but when I stopped it, isn't it very human and good?
However, this change does not stop anymore. The helm is already on the digital society.
I think that the 30th year of Heisei was a big change in the majority.
More specifically,Originally, what is selected (changed) has survivedYou may even say.
At the moment, the flow from analog to digital will accelerate further in the future.
But on the other handThe value of analog rises relativelyI think it will be like that.Return to analogIt may be more appropriate to express it when you do.
I think it's because I realize the original value of "feeling with my heart" when humans are really beautiful, fun, and happy.
I don't know if it's an appropriate word, but it's not a material value or functional value, but not through the brain,A sensory value that resonates directly to the human "heart"I think.
At this time,The art field using analog technology opens flowers againIsn't it?
◆ At the end
What I feel while doing business on the land of Kyoto isHow unique in JapanIt is very for overseas peopleHigh added valueIt is a thing.
Including kanji"Japanese"That is one of them.
I think that Japanese, which is not found in the alphabet in the phonetic character, is more valuable than Japanese people think.
I think one of the industries that has been handling this character culture for a long time is the "Hanko industry". I think that we can find new value by polishing here and changing the shape.
I am now in the middle of the wave of great social change.
Regarding the points that overcome these crises, I think three things are now important.
① Retlate yourself (become reeds to think and act)
・ What is the added value brought about by your or its core technology?
・ Why does your work exist?
When you judge that you won't create the value in the future,
It is important to "release" cleanlyI think.
The opposite of "release" is "grab". Mysteriously, "release" will give you a chance to "grab" new things.
Believe thisActing reedsI think it is important to be.
(2) Unity of the power of the group (make 300 reeds)
・ Japan's strength is "group" than "individual"
Isn't this clear from the world of sports?
In short, by putting it togetherMaximize the power of the groupI think it should be done.
It is better to unite wisdom and collaborate for both sides to create a synergistic effect. I think especially in the industry where I usually do not associate.
Of course I am fine (laughs)If you are interestedInquiryPlease contact us by all means.
③ Hospitality for customers (redefined customers)
I think it sounds like a matter of course.
The reason why this is raised is that there is an era where the values of "work" in humans are redefined.
When it comes to this, once again, ""Red definition of "customer" and "added value to be provided"I think it will be necessary to do it.
Last but not least
Let's enhance the world from Japan so that we can leave a good future for children! ! ! !
