Inkan
As I had said earlier , Japan is not signed by hand, but it is signed with a stamp itself (inkan).
In the inkan is usually written surname, but as when we married , Ayumi lost their last names and took mine, has had to turn to all inkan. I became a long-inkan with the inscription "Garcia", but as Ayumi would have to make all new inkan with the surname "Bariel" (as we like more than Grace), I've done I also like playing inkan .
The Japanese usually have several inkan, depending on where they want to sign, such as in the bank, city hall, in emails, etc. to fill any form.
Here you have a description of all that we did inkan:
- Jitsuin: The most important inkan which contains the owner's full name, I mean, to sign important papers, which are often the papers to be done at City Hall. If you want to ask other important roles, such as a loan or life insurance, usually ask for a role of the municipality in which your inkan figure which is more important, therefore, before this is gone the council to say what is your most important inkan.
- Ginkoin: The inkan used to sign the papers of the bank, such as taking out money, ask for a card, so open an account.
- Sanmonbani: The inkan used for anything unimportant, that is, when we fill out a form from somewhere and make us sign, if we have to send a letter somewhere and make us sign a letter to pick up etc.
- Syachihata: The inkan having the ink inside the inkan own therefore only by pressing on the paper and the mark is placed. Typically used to sign him when the postman leaves a card and not have to go get the package inkan and Tinian to sign this inkan always have the ink prepared.
As you can imagine, all inkan are different although there are many who put the same thing (in my case Bariel). In fact, we wanted us 2 inkan same for everything and that Ayumi and I had one another but could not be in the stores that do inkan are prohibited from making two equal inkan even for the same person.
In the next picture you will see all we did for Ayumi inkan and me, where are the Case of Ayumi pink and black Case are mine.
The purple inkan the top of the photo is the Syachihata to sign the letters get home, and the bottom of the photo is the Jitsuin to sign the papers from City Hall. As in the council papers often contain the name of the two, we have the same inkan for both.
