Oval Hanko

 The most common hanko we provide is a 12mm round personal stamp, which usually has a Christian name for Westerners or a Surname, more commonly used in the East. 

 However we are also asked regularly to make a hanko which incorporates both Christian and Surname and due to the number of kana we normally recommend an oval format at 16 x 11mm sizing. 

This size equally fits well in grading books where the examiner places his stamp and the oval shape is also quite traditional.

Our Option "C+" Dan certificate

We recently worked with Nishinihon Karate Association to upgrade their "Option C" template to "Option C+". 

On "C+" the Dan rank kanji and corresponding English text is embedded into the template. It is never quite as simple as that, because all kanji are a different size all the rest of the kanji in the column also move so the tops of each column align across the template. 

We also changed some spacing and the logo at the base of the certificate to the groups requirements.

C+ Shodan Certificate

C+ Nidan Certificate

C+ Sandan Certiicate

C+ Yondan Certificate

The Certificate explained

 "Option A" the fully individual certificate with the recipient's name in katakana and date in the imperial calendar format in kanji remains by far the most popular option. 

 The current costings for the certificates are on the website in the shop section, but this option "C+" starts at £95 and £8 for each grade template that is added.

If you would like to explore certificate options for your group just drop us a mail to sotosabisu@btinternet.com
