Entering Your Name
 
Name Customization: Your name can be engraved (carved) in English characters ("Romanji"), Katakana, Hiragana or Kanji. For municipal use (at banks, etc.), we recommend that you provide your name in Katakana. 
 
Enter your name in the "Engraving name" section (in the Japanese character of your choice, or in English). After receiving your order, we will send you a confirmation email with customization options within 5 days of order.
 
Customization options include: 
 
We may make minor adjustments to the number of character strokes in your name to optimize your seal’s “luckiness.”
You may make any additional requests regarding your engraving name.
 
We will then conduct a surname analysis and send you a draft image of your custom seal. Review the draft carefully; hand-carved Hanko are not returnable. Expect about 6 to 8 weeks to receive your hand-engraved Hanko. Your Hanko will be personally hand-carved by our award-winning engravers.
