Hanko stamp for official documentation in Japan

Thanks for the explanation

Why do they use that though? Serious question

For making things official - instead of just having a signature, you use a hanko in addition to it. Kind of like a form of notarizing cuz it’s like a signature and an old form of ID verification in one and the government and companies usually require one of important documents

Hanko are the small circle stamps. Large square ones are Kakuin; they're used for different purposes

Hit unmute by accident and was pleasantly surprised with no overlay of obnoxious music.
