THOUGHTFULNESS & LOVE FOR HUMANITY.

This is a luxurious maki-e stamp featuring a tulip motif. In Japanese, this flower is called “チューリップ” (written as ちゅーりっぷ in hiragana).

In the Japanese language of flowers (hanakotoba), tulips represent thoughtfulness, philanthropy, and beautiful eyes. In Japan, tulips are commonly planted in school flower beds and used as motifs on lunchboxes, kindergarten name tags, and shoe bags.

In addition to the beautiful flower motif, the name of the flower, チューリップ is gilded on the hanko in katakana.

Description

Makie is a unique Japanese lacquerware art, and is one of the most popular hanko styles in Japan. This style began during the Nara period (8th century). Patterns are drawn in lacquer, then powdered with gold, silver or tin, and then colored powders are gently sprinkled over the patterns to add color and dimension, as if sowing seeds. The “Maki” in “Makie” means to sow, a reference to this action.

The main body is made from the horn of the Asian Water Buffalo.
