Set of 200 Vintage Japanese Round Hanko Stamps – Family Name Seal Collection – Cultural Heritage 日本ヴィンテージ円形印鑑200本セット – 名字刻印 – 伝統文化コレクション Item Description: Offered here is a complete set of 200 vintage Japanese round stamps, known as “Hanko” (判子) or Inkan (印鑑). Each stamp is individually carved with a unique Japanese family name in traditional kanji characters, reflecting both artistry and identity. In Japan, Hanko have been used for over 1,300 years as personal seals and are deeply embedded in everyday life. From signing contracts, authorizing documents, and opening bank accounts to ceremonial uses, these seals carry legal and symbolic significance. Even today, they are still legally recognized and widely used alongside digital alternatives. The round shape is one of the most common forms of Hanko, typically used for personal or private use. It is often associated with personal identity, daily transactions, and internal documentation within families or businesses. Each name engraved on these stamps offers a unique glimpse into Japan’s vast onomastic diversity — the country is known to have over 100,000 family names, many of which reflect regional, historical, or occupational origins. Crafted from lightweight wood, the stamps in this collection are practical, durable, and rich with character. The kanji carvings display a wide range of typographic styles, adding visual interest and historical charm. This set is an exceptional find for collectors of East Asian artifacts, calligraphy enthusiasts, educators, or artisans interested in traditional tools and personal branding. They are also ideal for creative use, display, or as a teaching aid on Japanese language and culture. A true celebration of Japanese identity, history, and craftsmanship.
