皆さんごきげんよう。
ハンコを押す際に、紙の下の存在を意識したことありますか？実は美しく捺印するために重要なのは下敷きなのです。
いつもお世話になっている一条神社の宮司さんからのご注文で特注した、お札用特大スタンプ台３０㎝×１０㎝を納品しに行ったところ、捺印の際に下に敷くものが無いのでこれも何とかならないか、と追加の問い合わせ。そんなの有ったかな？
（因みに、「下に敷くもの」の事を業界的には捺印マットまたは印マットと呼びます。）
とりあえず、確認しますと言ったものの、特注スタンプ台サイズの既製品捺印マットは、当然存在していません。
メーカーに聞いたけどやっぱり有りませんでした～なんて素直に伝えるだけをしていても仕事にならないので、当店で作ってみました。
簡単に大判のゴム板を切るだけでは芸がない、一日に何枚も押すものなので作業のストレスが無いように素材も吟味しました。
作り方は昔、印章技術訓練校で作った、竹皮の小さな印台を参考にして…。
Have you ever been aware of the existence of the underlay of the paper when you stamp a stamp? Actually, it is the underlay that is important for beautiful stamping.
When we went to deliver an extra-large stamp stand 30 cm x 10 cm for bills, which was custom-ordered by the chief priest of Ichijo Shrine, to which we are always indebted, we found that there was nothing to put under the paper when stamping, so we asked him if we could do something about this, too.
He asked us if we could do something about this as well. (Did we have such a thing?
(By the way, “something to put under the stamp” is called “seal mat” or “seal mat” in the industry.)
I said I would check, but of course there is no ready-made stamping mat for a custom-made stamp stand size.
We asked the manufacturer, but they didn’t have one, so we made one at our store.
We have chosen the best materials so that there is no stress in the process of stamping as many stamps are stamped in a day.
The process is based on a small bamboo-bark stamping stand I made at a stamping technique training school in the past…
簡単に言えば、材料を切って重ねてタッカーで止めるだけ、だけど細部は作り込んでるんです。
Simply put, it’s all about cutting and stacking materials and tacking them together, but the details are made up.
さっき納品してきて、宮司さんから「バッチリ！」とコメントを頂きました☆
一条神社でお札を貰った時に、当店も少し思い出してくれれば嬉しいです。
押している所の写真も撮ればよかった。
I just delivered it and received a comment from the shrine priest that it was “perfect! I received a comment from the shrine priest saying, “Perfect!
I would be happy if you remember our store a little when you get a bill at Ichijo Shrine.
I wish I had taken a picture of the place where it was being pressed.
ではまた。
