OUR STORY

A Japanese tradition, made personal.

Pettan was created to bring the tradition of Japanese Hanko to people around the world.

In Japan, Hanko have long been used as personal marks — engraved with a name and made to belong to one person.

At Pettan, we take that tradition and make it easy to create a Hanko of your own, wherever you are.

WHAT IS HANKO?

More than a stamp.

A Hanko is a traditional Japanese stamp, individually engraved with a name or personal mark.

For generations, Hanko have been part of everyday life in Japan — used to sign, identify and leave a personal impression.

Today, a Hanko can be something more: a distinctive way to make your mark your own.

HOW IT’S MADE

Made in Japan, made for you.

Every Pettan Hanko is individually engraved in Japan with care and craftsmanship.

From the warmth of Kagura Hinoki and the natural character of buffalo horn to the clean, modern finish of titanium, each material brings a different feel to your Hanko.

You choose the material, shape, size and engraving. We bring it together into a Hanko made just for you.
