In much of the world, people sign their names when they need to make things official. In Japan, people carry stamps with their name called hanko. These can come in all kinds of neat designs, and now, Eric Carle’s beloved children’s book ‘The Very Hungry Caterpillar’ has inspired some new stamps via the MONOIY website. 

 

These illustrated stamps are perfect for celebrating huge milestones like a child’s graduation or the start of a new school year. Wouldn’t you love to have one of these back in your school days?

 

 

Hanko (in picture book packaging): ¥5,280 (Tax Included)

 

 

MONOIY, a company well-known for its detailed and numerous types of hanko, has added the adorable caterpillar character to both the sides of the stamp and to the stamp itself. These stamps show the story of ‘The Very Hungry Caterpillar,’ and the character’s journey to become a butterfly. There are five different stamp designs available and customers can choose the characters and typeface. 

 

Hanko Case: ¥2,780 (Tax Included) 

 

 

The boldly-colored case will keep the stamp safe and will add some joy and fun to any child’s backpack!

 

Of course, it’s customary to have your name on a hanko seal, but for children why not try adding phrases like ‘OK’ or ‘Good job?’
