Okada Shokai Co., Ltd. (Location: Osaka City, Osaka Prefecture, Store Manager: Koji Okayama), which operates the online stamp shop "Inkan Hanko SHOP Hankos," has added 10 new designs to its "Natsume Hankocho Date Stamp Version" on its online shop. This stamp playfully shows the date with characters from the anime "Natsume's Book of Friends" every time you stamp it. The "Natsume Hankocho Date Stamp Version" was released in July 2020 and is a date stamp from the "Natsume Hankocho" series, which has received over 3,000 orders to date. Characters from "Natsume's Book of Friends," loved by many fans, including Nyanko-sensei, beautifully complement the analog date stamp. The date stamp designs now include 10 new designs (No. 12-21), featuring characters like Tanuma, Taki, Natori, and Matoba, in addition to the original 11 deformed characters such as Nyanko-sensei, Madara, Kuro Neko, Chuko Youkai, and Kogitsune, bringing the total to a rich variety of 21 designs to choose from. All date stamps allow you to adjust the height of the date portion to be lower, so you can stamp only the design without the date. This time, we have prepared designs with a slightly nostalgic Japanese taste to beautifully color your notebooks and notes. The newly added designs (No. 12-21) are all without text, but the original designs (No. 1-11) can be customized with your preferred content according to your needs. You can add your favorite text or name to the upper or lower lines, or leave them blank and write by hand after stamping. Of course, you can also create them with old characters or messages. Decorate your notebooks and sticky notes, use them in your planner for deco and schedule management, jot down expiration dates, or use them for gift wrapping. The possibilities are endless depending on your ideas. The main body size is 30mm wide x 27mm high x 127mm deep. The handle of the stamp body also features cute designs of Nyanko-sensei, Madara, and Natsume. "Natsume Hankocho Date Stamp Version" will not only feature Nyanko-sensei but also Madara, Nyanko-sensei's true form, Takashi Natsume, the protagonist of the story, as well as Chuko Youkai, Kogitsune, and Kuro Neko, who will inform you of the date cutely while providing a heartwarming and healing experience. We will continue to create stamps that blend into everyday life, bringing smiles and fostering communication with every stamp.
