Personal and Shotokan Tiger Hanko

We recently manufactured a couple of small 12mm hanko, one was a traditional layout of a surname and one was a Shotokan tiger.
We were apprehensive that the resolution for the tiger may be too low as there is a lot of detail in the design, but we think it works.
If you are thinking of ordering a Shotokan tiger, depending on the application it will be used for it may benefit from being a little bigger.

Pagham KC - Logo, Kyu and Mon Certificates

We recently worked with Pagham Karate Club to update their logo and produce A4 Kyu and Mon Certificates.

They had an existing logo but it was of low resolution. They wanted to include a Japanese translation in the design. We updated the logo with the benefit that the normal rate for logo design is discounted when purchase alongside a certificate template.

New vector image logo

We incorporated the new logo, along with a club hanko into the designs for the kyu and mon certificates.

So if you are thinking of updating your certificates with either a full or semi custom version just drop us a e Mail and we can start developing a graphic for your approval.

Custom Plaques

We recently asked our customers for suggestions for a give away, unfortunately the promotion is now closed but we thought we would share some of the suggestions and graphics we produced to illustrate what they would look like.



For these plaques the graphic design is now complete so the cost would be the same as any of our standard plaques. 

If they prove popular we will add them to our range.

To place an order just drop us a E Mail to sotosabisu@btinternet.com

Custom plaques are charged at a rate depending on size and amount of graphic design required.

A gift to celebrate a new dojo

To celebrate a move to a new dojo a student asked us if we could produce a gift for the club. 

We suggested a fully customised "entry level costs small plaque" which is 350 x 200mm in size, a maple veneer on a mdf backing in our classic black frame. 

We took a look at the clubs website and borrowed some graphics, there were of a reasonable quality and did not need re-working. 
The clubs name was translated into hiragana - Sengoku Bujitsu Dojo. 
We fitted some brass mirror plates so the plaque can be screwed to the wall. 


Our standard range of small plaques are currently £89.00, with a little customisation there is an additional £10.00 charge. 
Custom plaques are individually costed depending on the work involved in graphic design. 
This one only had a £20.00 uplift as everything was straightforward. 
If logos need to be re-worked or re-created the cost would increase slightly. 
A good budget for a small 350 x 200mm plaque would be £109.00 to £129.00 including postage and packing to non-premium UK postcodes.

Custom plaques are charged at a rate depending on size and amount of graphic design required.

Dragon Hanko

We recently manufactured an oval hanko which incorporated a Christian name and a image of a dragon.
A little different from a traditional layout, but custom is what we do best.

Hanko with graphic and kanji

We always like doing things that a little bit different. This hanko had a graphic and kanji. A dove symbolising peace and harmony, associated with Wado along with the kanji for Tozai (meaning East and West) and the ryu. 
It was produced in our standard club stamp size of 24mm x 24mm. 
We weren't sure how the detail on the graphic would appear on the inkan, but we were presently surprised.

Personal Inkan in kanji

We recently manufactured self inking stamps for use in grading books for an exiting customer.
They have a Nafudakake (Name board) where all the members names are represented in kanji.
They sent us the representations that they wanted to use and we made some graphics in both a round and oval format.


They selected the round stamps and here are the finished hanko ready for posting
