A stamp is much more than just a stamp It's your logomark, your identity.
"Hanko" (meaning stamp in Japanese) has become common after around 1873 in Japan. Nowadays, we use them after our signature in contracts in many scenes in important times in life to show "our conformation".
Therefore, we all have our one and only original stamp, and it is more like a logo mark.
In a digital era like this, that extra effort makes life more colorful and meaningful. That is what we think.
Challenging ourselves to push our limits to see a new tomorrow.
I was born and brought up in Ichikawa Sango, the town of stamps in Yamanashi Prefecture, so I've always been close to stamps. But I never liked them beck then. Traditions and unchanging values are wonderful, yes. But perhaps I felt it more like I am forced to not touch any of it when I was young.
Now, everything is different. Everything becoming digitalized and stamps having less meaning and purpose than before made me realize there are so many things we can still do.
Here at Harada Shokodo, there are 'Shokunin' craftsmen who handcraft stamps, manufacturer that make materials, and connect to retailers who sell them.
The priceless joy that come up when I imagine customers happy has always been my passion since I've took over the business. There are no limits to express gratitude. Same as to the opportunities of stamps I think.
I'll kept saying "Keep challenging!" to myself until everyone in Japan, and the world will start to say "Thanks to you I've become a fan of stamps!".
