So…what was yesterday‘s header image? I dropped in on my parents for lunch today and they had a few guesses. They though maybe lipsticks, pens, or brushes…
The items in the image are hanko!
判子 (はんこ)
“hanko”
seal (used for a signature)
Here is mine:
And this is what the stamp looks like:
If you examine it closely you can see it is a stylised “ジェイムス” (reading downwards).
ジェイムス
“jie-i-mu-su” (katakana)
James
I kept my “hanko” on a shelf by my front door. When I received deliveries the post people would often be surprised that I actually had a signature seal rather than signing with a pen!
I am writing quite short entries at the moment, but at least I’m keeping going. Tomorrow we will talk about…well, by now you know the drill…look at today’s cover image!
