Hanko (also called inkan) are personal seals used in Japan similarly to handwritten signatures for signing contracts, providing confirmation of identity, and more. They are often hand-carved, typically must include the bearer's name (in part or whole), and are stamped in red ink.

Hanko é o carimbo usado pelos japoneses como assinatura oficial e tem peso legal. No Japão é obrigatório para estrangeiros residentes também e continua sendo fundamental em processos burocráticos e no dia a dia. Ele foi importado da China no período Kamakura (1185-1333) e era usado por lordes feudais e shoguns apenas.
