A seal that secretly hides a dog in the name "Dog's Hanko / Wankan"

"Dog Hanko One Kan" was released on August 22nd. Some of the letters have been replaced with dogs, and it is designed so that the name and dog coexist in a natural way. This is a one-co version of the "Cat Hanko Nyankan" that went on sale in August 2014, and comes in two types: a stamp type and a penetrating stamp type.

" Cat Hanko Nyankan " is a product developed because when Kenichi Shiroyama, a seal designer, was looking at Chinese characters, some of them looked like animals. When he replaced the part that looked like an animal with a cat that had a pose like that, he said that he thought of commercializing it because it was established without any discomfort.

"Dog Hanko One Kan" is a one-co version of "Neko Hanko Nyan Kan". Unlike cats, dogs have limited poses, and depending on the breed and combination of characters, they may not fit the design that is part of the characters. However, in the process of the designer responding to the customer's request and working on the custom-made dog seal, a new design method was established. It is said that it has reached the general sale this time.

"Dog Hanko One Kan" can be used as a seal, and if it is a seal type, it can be used as a registration seal at most banks. According to the "Seal Ordinance", there is a statement that "information other than the name must not be present" in the seal registration, but it seems that there is a possibility of registration if the design is such that it is not obvious at first glance.
