However, there are many different types of natural stones. When it comes to HANKO made of natural stones, you also need to take into account the size and font, so there are too many factors to choose from and it can be confusing.
So this time, we will introduce "How to choose a natural stone HANKO".
We also explain the points you should remember before using a natural stone HANKO, so please refer to it.
The appeal of HANKO made from natural stones
The main attractions of HANKO made from natural stones (power stones) are as follows:
- Visual beauty
- Has the effect of a power stone
- High durability
We will explain each one in detail.
Visual beauty
HANKO made from natural stones have the transparency and beauty that only natural stones can provide. In addition, each natural stone has its own unique shine and color balance, so the beauty of the appearance of each HANKO changes, which is also an attractive feature. Since natural stones are unique, they are ideal for people who want to make a one-of-a-kind HANKO.
Has the effect of a power stone
Another appeal of natural stone HANKO is that they have the effect of power stones. Each natural stone has different effects, such as warding off evil, increasing luck, purifying, and improving the spirit. If you use the HANKO for a long time, it will last as a long-term talisman.
High durability
Natural stone power stones are more durable than other seal materials. They are classified as stone materials, and their advantage is that the surface of the seal does not wear down as easily as other seal materials.
However, while stone is resistant to wear, it does have the drawback of being weak against impacts. It can crack or chip if it is hit hard against a hard surface or dropped. However, it is true that as long as it is not subjected to impacts, it can be used for a long time without breaking. In that sense, it can be said to be a highly durable seal material.

How to choose a natural stone HANKO
Choose your natural stone HANKO as follows:
- Shop by size
- Choose by font
- Choose by delivery date
We will explain each one in detail.
Shop by size
When choosing a natural stone HANKO, be mindful of the size of the seal. The main sizes of seals are as follows:
- 18.0mm
- 16.5mm
- 15.0mm
- 13.5mm
- 12.0mm
Generally, men choose larger sizes and women choose smaller sizes. No matter what size you choose, there will be no problem with stamping, so choose the size you like.
If you are making multiple HANKO, it is recommended to change the size according to the purpose, such as a personal seal and a bank seal. Each HANKO will have a different look, making it easier to use them for different purposes. If you want to be able to tell which HANKO is for what purpose by appearance, you can also choose a different natural stone material for each HANKO.
Choose by font
If you want to be particular about the impression HANKO makes, you should also consider the font. The main fonts used for HANKO are as follows:
| typeface | Features |
| Inso body | The letters are attached to the circumference, making them difficult to counterfeit. |
| Seal font | The oldest typeface in Japan |
| Kointai | Matches a wide range of HANKO |
| block font | Sharp and easy to read |
| Gyosho font | The writing is soft |
As mentioned above, there are differences in readability, atmosphere, etc. Choose the appropriate typeface according to your personal image and purpose.
Choose by delivery date
It often takes a long time to make a HANKO. If it takes too long, there is a possibility that it will not arrive in time for the required time and you will not be able to stamp it. Therefore, it is best to check the delivery date and choose a company that will deliver it to you as soon as possible.

Things to remember before using natural stone HANKO
Here are some things to keep in mind before using natural stone HANKO:
- Less printable than other HANKO materials
- Some natural stones are sensitive to temperature changes.
We will explain each one in detail.
Less printable than other printing materials
Natural stones have slightly lower printability than other seal materials. Not only natural stones, but all stone-based seal materials tend to have low printability.
However, if you apply the ink firmly and press evenly, you can leave a nice impression. Until you get used to it, be mindful of how you apply the ink and how much pressure you apply.
Some natural stones are sensitive to temperature changes.
Be aware that some natural stones are vulnerable to temperature changes. Many natural stones are vulnerable to extreme temperature changes and also tend to be vulnerable to ultraviolet rays. In particular, animal-based natural stones such as pearls and coral are vulnerable not only to temperature changes but also to acids.
Natural stone HANKO may deform when exposed to temperature changes, which may result in damage. To ensure that HANKO lasts a long time, store it in a place that meets the following conditions.
- Temperature changes are unlikely to occur
- Humidity is not high
- Less drying
- Do not expose to UV light
It is recommended to store it in a box with a lid, avoiding places exposed to direct sunlight or in hot and humid environments.
Also, because natural stones are stone materials, they may break if subjected to impact. After use, be sure to put the seal in a case to HANKO it from being subjected to impact even if it is dropped.
