Japanese Craved name seal, "INKAN" "HANKO"

HELLO !! こんにちは！

Japan is sooo cold Today.
It's SNOW in Tokyo.

Today, I introduce Japanese craved name seal, "INKAN" or "HANKO".

One sticks the carved surface into a red ink pad, then presses it on paper.
It is usually made of wood but ivory and crystal are also used.

In Japan, we use INKAN when we sign the documents.
Family name is engraved to the INKAN.

How to use it correctly ??

You should put the INKAN to tilt to the left.
This can express modest heart of user.　↑↑↑



If you want to make INKAN in KANJI,
use a phonetic equivalent !! Like this↓↓↓

e.g.

English                 Kanji              Katakana

Michael       舞蹴　　　　マイケル

Andrew       杏杜龍　　　アンドリュー

Emily　　　　　笑里　　　　　エミリー

Sophia　　　　祖符衣亜　　　ソフィア
