If you have ever considered studying or working in Japan, you might know about the “判子 hanko” personal seal culture.
You need to have different types of personal seals for renting a house, opening a bank account, and even receiving packages that come to your door.
In other words, we use seals instead of writing signatures like most people would do around the world.
Can you guess how many stamps a Japanese man like me who runs a company would own?
2? 3? No, 8!!
Why would you need so many different kinds of stamps?
So today, I will explain to you about the history of hanko culture in Japan, why we still use such a troublesome system even today, and the 7 different kinds of hanko seals.
Also at the end of the video, I will introduce how to make your own hanko, even if you don’t have a Japanese name.
I hope this video will be useful for those who are hoping to live in Japan in the future.

My family has a hanko seal made of rose quartz that was hand-carved by an artisanal craftsman in Kamakura, and it is absolutely beautiful. It is so beautiful, in fact, that I'm not allowed to use it because my family are worried that I will lose or break it. ...Which is, I'm sad to say, *an entirely reasonable and appropriate assumption for them to make*--and if I'm being completely honest, they probably made the right decision.

When I lived in Japan my company gave me a hanko so I could go to the bank. While at the bank, I took my hanko out and used it. The bank provides an InkPad. Another lady was using hers next to me. When I finished, I packed up my hanko and got in line for the teller. Suddenly the lady was looking all around at others, at the ground, etc. I thought maybe she was mentally ill because she was becoming more frantic each passing minute. She talked to the bank employee. It was my turn at the teller. The teller asked me to show her my hankos. Well, my goodness was I embarrassed. When I packed up, I had packed the other woman's hanko by mistake. Very serious because if you have someone else's hanko, you can control their finances and their life! I bowed and said "Gomenesai" as much as possible. 🤭😣🤦

Hey Shogo, this video covered parts of why the Japanese people don't use as much modern technology as other developed nations, and I've seen more reasons from other videos and articles. However, it occurred to me that the pandemic made a lot of people worldwide rely on modern technology more than ever. So I'm curious, do you know if there's been a significant increase in computer usage and education in Japan over the past year?

So interesting! You know though, I used to work in government in Canada only 6 years ago, and stamps still have a place if you think about it. We would accept a lot of documents electronically, but for anything important (eg uni transcripts, licenses, official translations) then the stamps and seals used by those institutions were something we considered when we'd assess their authenticity. And then we'd stamp any copies we made with our own stamps that let others in the system know we did in fact see the originals and they're legitimate copies. I didn't think much about it til I watched this video, that all those stamps and seals are part of this long history of seals! It's really cool.

@davidl5452 3 жыл бұрын

I had no idea that individuals would need to own multiple seals. I can understand a formal and informal one, but it seems odd to require a separate one for banking. But maybe it presents additional security so you can't copy someone's financial seal from their official documents. I do think it would be cool to own a personal set, even if I would never need to actually use them.

NHK is one of my most favorite channels on my 850 channel cable tv channel list. Of course no one watches all the channels. No one in the U S A is that crazy for tv. I only have 48 channels on my favorites list in my U S home. The documentary stated that many city governments have decided to be so modern and progressive that they changed the rules in a big way. Now, hanko stamps are only needed on documents related to selling a house, getting married, or inheriting property after death.

I am super curious to know what happens when a stamp is lost, damaged or destroyed?

What happens if a Japanese person wants an officially registered seal but their full name is already used by someone else? Can multiple Japanese have the same official seal? (The first recommended online hanko shop doesn't ship outside of Japan.)

There are different "font" options to deal with a situation like that. But registered seals must be unique.
