Bunshindo, a stationery store in Ginza 1-chome

You can make your own stamp using kanji in 30 minutes.

This seems to be appreciated by foreigners


The name of the stamp, which has a wonderful design of Kabuki Kumatori, is GinPanco (Ginpanko)

This is a carved with the letters "Jacob".

It seems that what kanji to use will be decided while listening to the customer's wishes.


DSC_2995.JPGIt seems that the number of characters can be carved up to about 6 characters.

The price of the transparent case and set is 3,500 yen (tax included).

It's also nice as a gift for foreigners.

You can choose from several types of designs for Kumatori, and the upper part contains the English name (Jacob).

It seems that labels are also made of things that are hard to lose color.

About 10 years ago, foreign people who want to make stamps came to Bunshindo.

Hanko is very popular among foreigners, but usually it takes many days to make it.

It's a particularly nice service for tourists to do that in just 30 minutes.


Bunshindo, which has a shop in Ginza 1-chome, is a historical stationery store that has been around since the Showa 20s.

I showed you a picture of that time.

A road that has not been paved yet. The photos of the wooden shop seem to convey the nostalgic appearance of Ginza.

The two sportsmen actively participate in local activities, including the portable shrine.

The handwritten poster on the door of the shop is depicted by his younger brother's daughter.

It's very cute.

I think that the city can breathe lively because there are shops rooted in these areas.

In Ginza, which is changing rapidly, a long-lasting shop always has "attractiveness that can only be found there", and I feel that it makes the city gorgeous.


GinPanco, as a new Ginza souvenir, I would like many people to know it.
