Released in June 2025, this charming collection lets you enjoy the world of Edo-period Japan through detailed stamp designs inspired by Katsushika Hokusai, the famous ukiyo-e artist known around the world.
Each Hokusai Manga Rubber Stamp captures the humor, spirit, and creativity of everyday life in old Edo, letting you press a little piece of Japanese art onto any page. Whether you’re a collector, journaler, or simply someone who loves cute and cultural stationery, these stamps will make your creative heart skip a beat. 🎨
A Modern Twist on Traditional Japanese Art
From Edo to Your Desk
Made by Tokyo Seihan, a stamp manufacturer based in Sumida, Tokyo, this collection combines expert craftsmanship with Japan’s rich artistic history. The first release in the series takes its designs from Hokusai Manga, a sketchbook full of lively characters and playful scenes drawn by Hokusai himself.
The designs “Hyakumensō” (Funny Faces) and “Sumo” show the laughter, movement, and emotion of Edo people in their daily lives. Using modern rubber technology, Tokyo Seihan recreated these details beautifully, turning them into mini works of art you can actually use.
💡 Fun fact: Each stamp is made to capture the soft texture and precise lines of traditional woodblock prints, bringing a centuries-old art form into your stationery collection.
