AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Description:
Offered here is a large collection of 100 Japanese personal name seals (Hanko / Inkan), traditionally used in Japan as a signature for official documents, letters, and personal items. Each seal is carved with a different family name in Kanji characters, making this an impressive assortment both for collectors and for cultural study.
• Origin: Japan
• Material: Likely resin or bone-like composite, carved and inked
• Quantity: 100 pieces (bundled in groups with rubber bands, as photographed)
• Length per seal: approx. 6 cm
• Carvings: Each piece bears a unique family name, hand-engraved in Kanji script
• Estimated production period: mid to late 20th century (circa 1950s–1970s)
• Condition: Good vintage condition. Signs of age and storage, but the engraved characters remain clear and sharp.

This is an unusual bulk set, rarely offered in such numbers, ideal for collectors of Japanese calligraphy tools, traditional stationery, or cultural artifacts. The variety of names and characters makes it also attractive for artists, designers, or academic research.
