Making seal engravings directly from Tanseido's sixth generation
Cooperation and Support／ Tanseido Ebisubashi Main Store
Program Contents
We will design your name using the seal script (tenshotai) and carve it into stone to finish. It starts with a mini-lecture to learn about the origin of the characters and the fascination of their shapes. The sixth-generation owner of Tanseido will teach you how to carve in a way that is easy for beginners to understand. You can carve your own name, as well as the name of a loved one or your favorite idol ("oshi"). Put your feelings into it and finish a one-of-a-kind carved seal for the world.
Please note that this cannot be registered as an official seal (jitsuin).
