Surprise! Surprise! There are still more stamps to be released in December!
Apart from the SakuralaLa stamps for 365 and HST , we are creating collaborative stamps with artists and creators active in various fields through the SakuralaLa Artist Program. We all enjoy the process of working on ideas together and refining them, and the time it takes to give shape to an idea is very stimulating. This time, we were fortunate to have the opportunity to create some wonderful stamps. I have been itching to introduce them to you for a long time, so I am happy to be able to unveil them to you now.
First up is the familiar Fukuwakehanko! I've made two stamps with Fukuwakehanko so far. The two stamps are the " lucky things " stamp with a lovely Japanese pattern, and the " coffee " stamp, which is synonymous with Fukuwakehanko. I especially use the "lucky things" stamp a lot, as it can be used in a variety of ways depending on your ideas. There is also a video that summarizes the ideas, so please take a look.
Sorry for the long introduction. The third collaboration with Fukuwakehanko is the "Retro Study," which has a warm, somewhat nostalgic design with a Taisho-era romantic atmosphere. It is filled with Fukuwakehanko's desire for everyone to relax and enjoy their time with their planner. It contains 41 stamps, including desks, chairs, ink, stamps, and decorations. All the stamps are sized to fit into the acrylic block "1.25 x 2." (If arranged well, maybe they can even fit into the "SQUARE" !? I recommend the "1.25 x 2.")
This retro-feeling pattern has only two patterns printed in the image above, but it seems like there are many possibilities. I haven't tried it yet, but maybe it could be combined with a Japanese pattern that is considered " lucky "?
There are three types of stamps on the label. They are simple, but because they are simple, I think you will not get bored and can use them repeatedly. When you think of Fukuwake Hanko, you think of stamps with stylish and cool letters. There are four types of words in a font that is typical of Fukuwake Hanko.
Fortune sharing stamp A sample image borrowed from... It looks cool stamped on a notebook. Especially Christmas on December 25th. It's a cup and a pattern stamp, but when I saw it, I thought it was a bouquet of roses. (For a clear enlarged version of the image, please check out Fukuwakehanko's Instagram post !)
Clear stamps are fun because the same stamp can have a different impression depending on who uses it. Your ideas for using stamps are very helpful.
There are still many things I want to introduce, but I won't be able to finish them all in time for the December release date, so I wrote another blog today. Please take a look at that too.
■ Fukuwake StampsThis is a line of eraser stamps and rubber stamps by the creative unit Tadano Yamamoto, who are also behind the rice bag daily accessory "Nochihodo®". Their production activities are based on the concept of "I want to share with everyone what I like and what I think is wonderful, and I want everyone to enjoy it, and these stamps will help you with that feeling."
