Create your own authentic Japanese hanko stamp in Kyoto under the guidance of master artisans and take home a truly personal souvenir.
This exclusive workshop is hosted by a husband-and-wife team of certified master seal engravers, recognized as First-Class Seal Engraving Technicians, All-Japan Meister artisans, and officially designated Kyoto traditional craft masters.
With over 1,200 years of history, Kyoto’s traditional seal craftsmanship (Kyo-Insho) has been carefully preserved and passed down through generations. In this hands-on experience, you will design and carve your own personalized name seal while learning about the cultural and historical significance of hanko in Japan.
No prior experience is required. The artisans will guide you step by step, ensuring you create a beautifully finished stamp that reflects your identity. More than just a souvenir, this is an opportunity to connect with authentic Kyoto craftsmanship and living tradition.
