The Art of Stamp Carving
Seal carving is a traditional form of art that originated in China, and later spread to East Asia. The material for seal making was mainly animal bones,copper (bronze) and pottery. Only the specially trained, sophisticated artisans and craftsmen had the ability to handle this form carving. However, in today's age there are various types of seal making techniques and Rubber Seals is considered one of the most accessible forms of seal making.
About our Stamps
Wooden grip cut from Japanese Shimanto Cypress range from 3cm - 9cm depending on design, and the number of faces in the stamp. The rubber pads used for the stamp face is made in Japan, specially sourced from a crafters' shop in Tokyo. The ink brand is Tsukineko which is high pigment and stamps the same colour as the pad. All in all, the quality of these handcrafted stamps are highly ensured, specially put together by the artist.
The artist is the sole crafter for this project.
