How to carve

The time you spend dealing with your name will lead to differences in quality.

Our store will suit your budget and desired quality.Select the way to carvecan.
The difference in carving method is simply the sameTime spent on manufacturingis.
Please check the differences in the images below. I think the artisan finishing is more refined in the strands and space. There is a lot of technology and time here.

On the other hand, our awareness of seals varies widely, so our store has made it possible to choose how to carve it, while still using hand carving as a base.

We will make all of these with all our heart, so please order and pick it up. StrangelyWarm sealI think it's finished.

We focus on what we can do because it's done by hand (not possible with fonts)

point01

Considering the compatibility of letters and letters

point02

Emphasis on the texture of the lines that the letters have

point03

Differentiation of line types according to typeface

It's not memo [machine] > [hand carved]

What impression do you have of machine-manufactured products?

There are certainly products in the world where products can be created that can be left to a machine that works precisely and accurately in a way that is indistinguishable in size.

However, this is not the case in seal engravings.

It is difficult to make 100 stamps using machines alone.
To put it in a similar way, it may be similar to the difference between an electric massage chair and a chiropractor.
Even with electric power, the stiffness is loosened overall, and it feels good at around 70-80%.
On the other hand, chiropractors can relieve more fundamental stiffness.
I think this is because the strength, speed, and area of ​​time have been fine-tuned according to individual differences between patients.

in short"The optimal countermeasure differs depending on the individual differences between each individual」。
That's probably what you mean.

In seal engraving,
[Individual differences in character shape] and [The sound of your name]
This is what happens.

It is easy to "arrange and engrave letters side by side" using a letter font and a mechanical engraving machine.
but,"Combination of fonts"or"The flow of sound"Letter designs that make use of, and when engraving"Fine angle adjustment of relief"It cannot be done by a machine.

It is because we cannot make the exact same seal by hand.
The authenticity of the sealis kept,
It has been used for authentication since ancient times
I think so.

(How does it differ if it's done by hand?)
When it comes to craftsmen, we will meet face to face when we can meet in person.That person's "become a person"You can put it in the text. In addition, if it is remote, we may send you a photo and engrave it.
This will significantly change the impression of the seal even if the same kanji is arranged.

It is not a problem even if it is not at our store, so if you are considering a seal, we strongly recommend that you search for a hand-made seal store in a store where you can purchase it in person.
When you leave your name, it is important to have the "people" who leave your name in that respect.I think so.

"The Oldest Practical Seal" that continues from Sumerian
This culture remains in this country. And there are many foreigners who want this every day. I think there are many different meanings here.

Not only is the seal, but Japan's country holds many assets that cannot be achieved with money. I am looking forward to seeing what will happen, whether to pass this on to future generations or to the end. Personally, I am excited every day, imagining a bright future.

Towards more essential manufacturing.

Selecting materials

For those who want to keep it at a reasonable price

Satsuma Genuine Zelkova

It is a standard material for seals, with a high density of material and easy to carve.
The ease of sculpture is directly linked to the beauty of the sculpture.
Another great feature is that it is cheaper than other materials. Recommended for those who want something solid, but want to keep it at a reasonable price considering how often they are used.

For those looking for a durable seal

Black water buffalo

A classic material for high-quality stamps. This is a buffalo horn stamp material that is highly durable. Only a very small part of the tip of the corner is used as a stamp material. This is why black buffalo are so rare. If you want a durable seal that can be used for a lifetime, this is the best option.

*Storage is recommended near insect repellents as there is a possibility of insect repellents

For those looking for durable materials

Cow Horn (Dutch Buffalo)

It boasts the same strength as black buffalo and is a beautiful, durable amber-colored material.
The difference between it and black buffalo is its beauty. Each piece has a different pattern, making it a unique stamp material.

*Storage is recommended near insect repellents as there is a possibility of insect repellents

Looking for a first-ever materialFor the

ivory

This stamp material has long been considered the highest quality material, and is the ultimate material suitable for fine processing.
You can see it clearly when you actually carve it.
The maximum hardness that can be carved by hand and the balance of viscosity that does not collapse is amazing.
Because it is hard, it takes time to carve and costs more, but it is recommended for those looking for materials that make the most of the design skills of craftsmen.

Choosing a font

Recommended as a bank seal!

Old sealI'm in love

This is a typeface for seals that follows the tradition of Yamato Kokusatsu, a unique typeface that has been around since the Nara period. It is highly readable and is bonded to the frame, making it highly durable.
The design has a strong and weak line, and the rounded font makes it a soft mark. It is often used for personal seals.

Recommended as a official seal!

Seal scriptI want to

A historic typeface that is said to be the origin of kanji.
Primitive letters will not change forever, making them ideal for long-term use seals.
Our store takes into consideration the combination of kanji and selects the most suitable font from a number of seal scripts to design them.

Recommended as a official seal!

A good-looking personI want to be so excited

The seal script is spread out in all directions, and there are no cuts between the letters and frames, and this typeface is said to have no cuts between the relationships that are bound by this mark, making it a favorite typeface for those who value luckyness.
It also has many other contact points, making it durable, and it also has the characteristic of making it easy to create an elegant mark as it increases the freedom of the design of the carver.

Select size

The rule of creating a seal to register as a seal is that most government offices say it is 8.0mm or more and 25.0mm or less. We offer the 13.5mm and 15.0mm, which are common at our store. In addition, if the bank seal that is reported to a financial institution when opening an account, if the diameter size is 10.5mm to 18.0mm, you can report it without any problems. We also offer the standard 12mm version.

memoRemake of seals, re-engraving

There is a method of carving called "re-engraving". It is about remakes of your ancestors' seals. I believe that the reason why you can actually bring your seal and connect your feelings is that it is a method of carving that can only be done at stamp shops, which have a physical store. Please feel free to contact us about the reprint.

*We will check the actual product and may refuse to accept orders if there are any materials that cannot be engraved by hand or if there are cracks or chips in the seal material.

*In terms of cost alone, it is often cheaper to create new materials other than ivory. Of course, if the mark is marked with a particular attachment, it is priceless.
