Large Collection of 215 Japanese Name Seals (Hanko) – Mixed Wooden Personal Stamps – Vintage Lot – Japan
Description
Item Description
This lot contains 215 authentic Japanese personal seals (Hanko/Inkan) made primarily from wood and similar materials.
Each seal features a unique engraved Japanese surname or personal name, making this an excellent collection for collectors of Japanese culture, calligraphy, vintage stationery, or for use in art, craft, mixed media, and decorative projects.
The seals display a beautiful variety of natural wood tones and engraved kanji characters. As each stamp is different, this large assortment offers both visual appeal and collecting value.
Please note:
This is a mixed lot of used seals.
Names are assorted and cannot be specified.
Some items show signs of age and previous use, which are consistent with vintage items.

Shipping Information
The item will be shipped from Japan with a tracking number.
YuDesign normally ships via Japan Post. However, depending on the destination country and international shipping conditions, one of the following carriers may be used: Japan Post, Japan Post UGX, DHL, or Yamato Transport (UPS).
Since July 24, 2026, Japan Post has temporarily suspended acceptance of certain IOSS shipments. Therefore, when necessary, alternative shipping services such as Japan Post UGX or Yamato Transport (UPS) may be used.
As a result, shipping costs may be slightly higher for some destinations to ensure reliable delivery.
Estimated delivery time is approximately 1–2 weeks, although customs clearance and local delivery conditions may affect transit time.
Any import duties, VAT, customs clearance fees, or other applicable taxes are the buyer's responsibility.
All items are carefully packed to ensure safe delivery. Recycled cardboard boxes and reused packing materials may be used as part of our environmental commitment. Lightweight packaging may also be used whenever it does not compromise the safety of the shipment.
Due to current international postal restrictions affecting the Middle East region, Japan Post is temporarily unable to ship to Cyprus. Shipments to Cyprus will therefore be sent only via DHL or Yamato Transport (UPS).
Please refer to the shipping rates for your destination country.
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
