Carving your Hanko with the power of "Kotodama"—the spirit of words.

Kototama

1. Arigatou

The word "Arigato" (Thanks) holds incredible power. Originally, it was not a word addressed to people, but to the Divine. Its true meaning is to express gratitude for something "rare to exist"—in other words, for the miracles that occur in our lives. Therefore, the more you chant this word, the more it pleases the Divine and attracts good fortune to you.

2. The 8 Heavenly Words

「Aishitemasu(I love you)」,「Tsuiteru(I'm lucky)」,「Ureshii(I feel delighted)」,「Tanoshii(Life is enjoyable)」,「Kanshashitemasu(I'm grateful)」,「Shiawase(I'm blessed)」,「Arigatou(Thanks)」,「Yurushmasu(I forgive)」

Why do I imbue Hanko with ''Kotodama''?

I found my inspiration in the production process of a highly successful confectionery company. In their factory, they play a recording of kindergarten children saying "Arigato" (Thanks) one million times to the snacks they produce.

This practice was started by the founder, Wahei Takeda, a legendary and renowned Japanese entrepreneur. I believe he deeply valued the concept of vibrational energy words had. Another great entrepreneur whom I deeply respect also emphasizes these vibrations, and the "8 Heavenly Words" are the very phrases he champions.

Our Hanko are crafted entirely by hand from start to finish, making the process incredibly time-consuming. In our fast-paced modern society, taking so much time might be seen as a disadvantage.

However, I chose to embrace this differently. I realized that by using this time to recite ''Arigatou'' and the "8 Heavenly Words" over each Hanko, I could raise its vibration. I believe that this positive energy will bring true happiness and good fortune to every customer who uses our Hanko!
