What's so particular about Japanese name carving? What's so particular about Japanese name carving? How to sort? What's the order?

Japan is a seal society, and seals are often needed in important occasions and daily life, and the frequency of use is much higher than that of China. Moreover, the legal responsibility of the seal is great, so it must be properly protected and cannot be easily lent to others. Japan has a seal registration system. To make a foreigner landing card in Japan, it is recommended to bring a seal and log in with it. Once stolen, you can declare it invalid and cancel the legal responsibility of the seal to yourself.

Japanese seals are well-made, so according to our consumption habits in China, even if there is Japanese income, we think it is more expensive, usually tens of thousands of yen. There are many kinds of seals in Japan, which are classified according to their uses, and many of them will be confused at once. In short, most seals used to check documents and confirm the receipt and delivery of mail goods only have surnames. Most Japanese names (such as Tanaka and Sato) have finished products, which are sold in supermarkets and department stores. This is a round rubber stamp with red ink, and an oil reservoir is printed on the back of the stamp, just like a colored pen. This is made by machine, so the price is quite cheap. Because the Japanese also have single surnames, such as Lin, Qin, Wu and Jin. Maybe China people can find their surnames in it. If not, it will be customized and expensive, but this seal only has a surname, not a full name.

Therefore, it is suggested that the surname stamp and full name stamp should be engraved in China before going abroad. The following are some points for attention when making seals in Japan-

Sealing material: it can be horn, ivory, hardwood or metal, which is not easy to wear and deform.

Seal size: the surname seal is generally about 1.0CM in diameter (generally used for reading confirmation documents and sending and receiving mail and goods), and the full name seal is within 1.0- 1.5 cm in diameter (used for insurance, banking and other official purposes);

Seal font: official script, regular script and other fonts can be used, generally traditional and cannot be simplified. Because the traditional Chinese characters in most Chinese characters are the same as those in Japanese characters, it is suggested to use traditional Chinese characters as much as possible in order to be easily recognized in Japan. In fact, if possible, it is best to use traditional Chinese characters for the names of people who come to Japan's passports, which can save a lot of unnecessary troubles caused by inconsistent fonts in the future. If simplified Chinese characters have been used in the passport, it is no harm to use traditional Chinese characters in the seal.

Text arrangement: two-word names are generally arranged from top to bottom or from right to left, three-word names are generally placed on the right and names on the left.

Seal shape: the seal can be one of square, rectangle, circle and ellipse. However, because most places that need to be stamped in Japan are not very large, it is suggested that the size of the inscribed square should be in the range of 10-20mm, which is too small to be recognized, and too large will often exceed the stamped area.
