A craftsman will engrave a craft HANKO stamp.
Want to know how to write your name in Japanese? Here are some ways to write your name in Japanese and make an original seal to commemorate your trip. Seals are used instead of signatures for important documents. In Japan, hanko is considered part of identity. We will design a stamp and engrave your name on it. The original seal can be completed anytime in the afternoon of the experience!
