Thanks for the enjoyable journey Peter, lovely!  Also, the Restorient studio does extremely fine work...a great asset for those in need of museum grade  conservation.   Excellent!

 

Cheers,

Well, I'm still not throwing my hanko away. Saves me lots of time while I'm in Japan. But it's sad, in a way, that so many of the old, hand-made items are disappearing from Japanese life.

I agree, reading the article filled me with sadness too, at least they will be around a bit longer and will probably survive for ceremonial/official usage as will the following item.   I've included a picture of the European counterpart, once an essential part of daily life, a mechanical wax letter seal.

It's a shame, that behind Japans glittering modern facade, age old prejudices are active and encouraged.      You'd think an enlightened government would make an effort to discourage this.
