Seal| HANKO used by individuals

The most commonly used seal is the personal seal, which is not a stamp that has to be registered somewhere like a registered seal or a bank seal. Generally speaking, there are many people who think that "registered seal = important HANKO" and "registered seal = cheap HANKO," but if it is proven that the seal was affixed by the person in question, it has the same legal effect as a registered seal. Therefore, it is not just a ``registered seal'', but should be managed with the same care as a registered seal.
