In Japan, hanko is a tool for self-expression and according to the historical text Chronicles of Japan, it was first used in the year 692 and has continued to be part of their daily lives for more than 1,300 years. Hanko has become a popular souvenir for international visitors and is a key piece of Japanese tradition and culture.

Okada Shokai Co., Ltd. has worked together with popular Japanese anime and game characters to create officially licensed products domestically on their online store. More than 150,000 hanko have been sold to date.

This brand new series sold on the online store FANCO is especially for the NARUTO SHIPPUDEN fans in North America. Choose your favorite character then add your favorite word or name to customize to create your own “logo” hanko, an ultimate personalized item. It is extremely rare that merchandise for anime fans can be personalized and unique to be able to choose from so many characters.
Customers will be able to choose from forty-nine designs featuring their favorite NARUTO SHIPPUDEN characters including the main character Naruto of course, along with Minato, Itachi, Sakura, Hinata and many more.

Use it to personalize your memos, letters and gift tags instead of signing or use it to label items. Your name can be expressed as Japanese kanji characters – i.e. Leon as 鈴音, Emma as 絵馬, Thomas as 刀升 or it can be created with messages such as “congrats!” and “good job!” to use on greeting cards or messages. You can also create it with just the character – simply personalize as you like.

NARUTO SHIPPUDEN Hanko Collection” has two types – self-inking and wood-carved. The self- inking has an internal ink pad installed that allows continuous usage. The wood-carved type is used by pressing down on a separate ink pad and has a feel of traditional crafts.

By calming your mind and pressing down on the hanko, you too will be able to experience the traditional Japanese culture with more than 1,300 years of history.

Both the self-inking hanko (30.00 USD) and wood-carved hanko(50.00 USD) come in an originally designed NARUTO SHIPPUDEN packet, available for purchase to those with a shipping address in North America. Each hanko is handmade at a factory in Japan one by one therefore requires 10 days via international shipping.

FANCO will continue to collaborate with more Japanese anime, film and game characters to spread the Japanese traditional culture of hanko to the rest of the world.
