“Initials Seal”



Presently, many people from other countries live and work in Japan. In their life, there are a lot of opportunities to affix a seal to a document in order to complete the public process. The seal is essential in Japan. However, a simplified seal for foreign names has not been produced, so they usually suffer inconvenience. The seal is typecally carved one's first or last name in Kanji. The ready-made seals for names in other languages are not sold. So, it was "Initials Seal" that I created for people from other countries. Initials can stand for any names. We portray all names in the world in "Initials Seal" if we make 26 words×26 words=676 kinds of the seal. We can offer customers all of the combinations, and they can get their seals easily and quickly.
