Ken-Hawaii Posted August 25, 2019 Report Posted August 25, 2019 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. 2 Quote
b.hennick Posted August 25, 2019 Report Posted August 25, 2019 I have a collection of them. I thought that the carving was good and they were relatively inexpensive. 2 Quote
TETSUGENDO Posted August 26, 2019 Report Posted August 26, 2019 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. -S- Gilt bronze and cut steel, 1st quarter 19th century. French or German with Austro-Hungarian royal cypher. 2 Quote
Vermithrax16 Posted August 26, 2019 Report Posted August 26, 2019 Has to be a market for intact wax seal documents, no? Would love to see one all intact. 1 Quote
TETSUGENDO Posted August 26, 2019 Report Posted August 26, 2019 Yes, people collect both sealed documents and the wax seal impressions as well. -S- 1 Quote

TETSUGENDO Posted August 31, 2019 Report Posted August 31, 2019 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. -S- 2 Quote
Ken-Hawaii Posted September 1, 2019 Report Posted September 1, 2019 Quite an eye-opener. I'd heard about this caste, but figured that it was long in the past. 1 Quote
