Itinerary

  • 2-9-1-A Onarimachi

    Meet a fourth-generation master seal engraver in a private Kamakura atelier, and take home two different Japanese seals: one you carve yourself and one personally hand-finished for your name by the craftsman. This is KAMAKURA SIGNET's signature experience. In Japan, a personal name seal (hanko) is still used in place of a handwritten signature. The family tradition behind this atelier dates back to 1898. See award-winning engraving, traditional tools and a live demonstration, then discover how Japanese characters, seal carving and brush calligraphy express names and meaningful wishes.
