Testimonials

Dear Ken, We would like to sincerely thank you for the beautiful Hanko you created for us.
It was offered as a Mother’s Day gift in Belgium, and it was very much appreciated. The result is truly outstanding: elegant, precise, and full of character. It perfectly reflects the care, craftsmanship, and attention to detail that went into its creation.The shipping process went perfectly smoothly, and the parcel arrived without any issue. For customers in Belgium, it is simply important to be aware that import duties and taxes may apply when the parcel arrives in the country.
We particularly appreciated your professionalism, your clear communication, and the quality of the final work. This Hanko is not only a beautiful object, but also a meaningful gift that will be kept and used with great appreciation.
Thank you again for your excellent work.
With kind regards,

Thank you so much for taking the time to share such a beautiful review. I am thrilled to hear that the Hanko made a wonderful Mother's Day gift in Belgium and that you were satisfied with the craftsmanship and shipping. Thank you also for your thoughtful note about the import duties to help other international customers. It was a pleasure communicating with you. I hope this special gift brings long-lasting joy!

We are so happy to receive such a wonderful review! Thank you for being so patient and understanding while we resolved the issues with the postal service. Your support means a lot to us, and we are honored that you would recommend our hanko to others.

The product is great! It came with lots of extra things and even a hand book of how to take care of it properly. The stamp is beautiful and thoroughly made with great quality.
I'm so happy with both the result and the customs service. I was met with a lot of kindness and understanding when having problems. This was a great experience and I really recommend it!

I ordered a kanji stamp in red tempered wood as a gift for my brother and what arrived genuinely impressed us.
The packaging was beautiful, to the point that my brother was reluctant to open it because it was clear that care and attention to detail was put into wrapping the gift.
Once opened, we were equally impressed with the kanji stamp itself. We immediately felt the level of skill and care that went into making it and the weight of it felt nice in our hands.
When there was a hiccup with Canada Post, Ken kept in touch with me the whole time, reassuring me and responding quickly to my questions. I genuinely felt cared for as a customer
. All in all, from the excellent service to special unwrapping and quality of the product, I would recommend Ken and his family’s company to you.
Maya (Canada)

Thank you so much, Maya-san. We are truly honored that you chose our kanji hanko as a gift for your brother. We sincerely apologize for the delivery delay you experienced late last year. This was due to the lingering effects of the Canada Post strikes in the year, combined with the busy holiday season. We deeply appreciate your patience and the trust you placed in us during that time.We remain committed to providing the highest level of quality and service to all our customers.

We at the Aikido Banzai Pistoia club (Italy) relied on the Yamada family to create our hanko.
It's gorgeous and beautiful, the item shows the passion that Kenjiro and the other family members put into what their work is. The meticulous construction and packaging made me emotional. I will probably turn to them again in the future for other hanko!

From start to finish, my experience was wonderful. Ken was attentive and responsive, helping me design my Hanko in the most suitable Kanji characters. The package itself was a joy to open - it was so beautifully and carefully wrapped, complete with a lovely gift. The final Hanko is exactly what I wanted and the excellent service made the entire process special. Thank you so much to the Yamada family for your kindness and excellence, I’ll cherish this whole experience forever!

Mr. Bustamante shared this beautiful work of cherry blossoms with us, and we were thrilled that he uses hanko on his art works. Thank you so much!

I recently spent 3 weeks travelling around Japan. A beautiful country and I saw some wonderful sights. I also bought many beautiful things that demonstrate the high quality of Japanese craftsmanship: Kutani pottery, lacquer wood, gold leaf decorated chopsticks and pictures but the most beautiful gift of all was the Kanji Hanko stamp I bought for my friend. The stamp was made to my requirements and delivered to my hotel in Hiroshima. Even the packaging was absolutely beautiful and wherever you are in the World, you will receive a fantastic, unique, handmade stamp to your design choices. Excellent value for money, craftsmanship and service. 5 Stars!

Dear Mr Yamade, Dear Ken.
After a long search for a personal Hanko I came across your website. A nice assortment of different Hanko are offered here. It is always just as exciting to order a product abroad. However, the quick and friendly email contact took my worries away. After submitting my details, I received a beautiful design and then ordered from your store. A while later there was mail from Japan. The postal package alone was a feast for the eyes. How special and beautifully packaged. And then the hanko itself. A beautiful product made with care and love. This stamp will look great on our judo diplomas. Thank you for the beautiful product, the friendly contact and the special service we received from you and your shop. Kanji-Hanko.com is an example of how people should treat customers.
Sincerely. Peter Goossens,

I finally opened the package. The hanko is very nice and I am very happy about it. It was an emotion to receive an original and custom-made product from Japan, done precisely for me. I am studying japanese and I love many aspects of the japanese culture. I have never been in Japan but I really would like to, in the future, and in the meanwhile I am studying the language.
Thanks also for the kind and colourful present included. I will use my hanko to sign some paintings and calligraphy exercises I do, and I am happy to send you a picture, here attached, as a confirmation of my positive feedback. ありがとうございました！

However, you have changed what was at first a sad experience into one that is hopeful and joyful for me. Thank you for your time and effort, your care and craftmanship. The hanko arrived today and it is even nicer than I expected. Your workmanship is beautiful, and your packaging is very, very thoughtful.

As the sole proprietor of an online stationery emporium featuring imported items from Asia and all over the world, I had to have Kanji of my store name, The Stationery Life. My love of imported stationery borders on an obsession and to find out that I could get a custom Kanji stamp was something I ever knew that I needed, but once I found out about it, I HAD to have it. The ordering process was easy and seamless. My goods arrived quicker than expected, and they were carefully packaged in adorable wrapped paper with a lovely woven knot to hold the package together. I also got a small gift from Kanji Hanko, which was a complete surprise! The stamp is perfect and is clear and precise when used. I highly recommend Kanji Hanko to anyone - this is one of the best purchases and has bought me the most joy this year. Thank you!

I've been interested in owning a good quality Hanko for years, so that I could make my students Reiki certificates look more professional. How lucky was I to happen across Kanji Hanko? They personally answer your sales query very quickly and despatch your Hanko equally as quickly. The Hanko themselves are a beatiful work of art and look great on certificates. I was partcularly impressed by the decorative Japanese packaging that they arrive in! I would recommend Kanji Hanko to anyone wishing to experience genuine Japanese courtesy and professional craftmanship in its finest form.
