The Master Collection

Every piece here is hand-carved in our Kamakura atelier by nationally certified masters — whether you are acquiring a finished work or commissioning your own. Below, four collections, from the first step into authentic hanko to the rarest materials on earth. One name. One piece. Carved to be held now, and inherited later.

From Order to Atelier

  1. Order online

  2. Our master proposes the design

  3. You review & approve

  4. Hand-engraving begins in Kamakura (Have a question first? Contact us anytime before you order.)

How Your Name Is Carved

Your seal can be rendered three ways:

① Kanji — meaningful characters chosen with the master

② Katakana — the flowing phonetic script of your name

③ Your Own Design — send a sketch or file, and we carve it as a one-of-a-kind original

Before You Purchase

  • Which font should I choose? 

  • Which character should I choose? 

  • How do I commission a custom design? 

  • How can I request a quote or invoice?

  • Which material is best for hanko?

The Signature Collection

The pinnacle of our craft — Kamakura-Bori, limited to 36 a year.

Born from the 800-year legacy of Buddhist sculptors and crowned with the Minister of Economy, Trade and Industry Award — Japan's highest national honor. Each piece is hand-sculpted and lacquered over nearly six months, then engraved with your name by a First-Class certified master. Because of the time each demands, only 36 exist in the world each year. This is not a product. It is an heirloom, entrusted to you.

Our Artisan Lines
— From Your First Hanko to the Rarest Materials

The Classic Collection

The first step into authentic hanko.

The same hand-carving, the same certified masters — in honest, time-honored materials like Japanese boxwood (tsuge) and birch bark. This is where an authentic Japanese seal begins: fully hand-engraved in Kamakura, at a price that invites you in. A true piece of the craft, not a souvenir. Materials: Betula bark, Japanese boxwood (tsuge), buffalo horn | $200–$350

The Classic Collection

The Masterpiece Collection

Harmony with nature — rare materials, everyday luxury.

Our main line for those who want something rarer in hand. Century-old boxwood, deep amber, and polished buffalo horn — natural materials chosen for their character and longevity, then hand-carved to last generations. The balance of true luxury and daily use. Materials: Centennial boxwood, amber, premium buffalo horn | $398–$750

The Masterpiece Collection

The Ultimate Element
— Stone, Crystal, and Titanium

The Precious Stone Collection

For the collector who answers to no budget.

The rarest materials the earth provides, carved into a personal seal: lapis lazuli, tiger's eye, and aerospace titanium in deep Japanese blue and purple. These are pieces of status and lasting value — for the collector and connoisseur who want the singular. Each one, like every seal we make, carries one name alone. Materials: Lapis lazuli, tiger's eye, titanium | $2,400–$3,100

The Precious Stone Collection

The Finishing Touch

The ink that brings your seal to life.

A seal is only half of the art — the other half is the mark it leaves. Our vermilion inks and pads are chosen to match the quality of the piece that presses them: deep, lasting reds that have signified authenticity in Japan for centuries. The right ink turns a single impression into something worth keeping.

Vermilion ink pads, fine Japanese inks, and traditional accessories to complete your seal.
