•Personal
Seals (Inkan)
In Japan, it is more common to use a personal seal
(hanko or inkan) than a signature.
Your seal imprint is legally binding - consider it to be
equal in importance to your signature. Never affix your
seal carelessly - it could obligate you as the guarantor
of the debt of another person. |
