Seal Your Documents With a Mimic Chomping on Frieren

One of the most common ways to authenticate an official document, such as contracts and letters, in the United States is with a signature. In Japan, however, it’s customary to use a personalized seal (called a hanko) in place of a signature. These hanko generally have a small diameter, use red ink, and are used on all manner of documents. Most are plain looking, but some can have fun designs. What better way to have fun with your hanko than with a Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End-themed seal? The X (formerly Twitter) account for Itaindou announced 11 unique Frieren-themed hanko and a few hanko cases in late December 2023.

Each hanko has a diameter of 18mm, features the anime series logo on the side, and can have your name engraved alongside the featured character.

The official X/Twitter account for Frieren shared an image of the hanko in use. The image included in the post features the Mimic, second Frieren variant, and Aura stamps used on what appears to be an official Shonen Sunday proofreading finalization form.

The website notes the hanko can be used as a seal for mail deliveries, at banks, and some city halls. Like many other collaboration items, Itaindou does not ship overseas. Nevertheless, The Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End hanko by Itaindou is an interesting gift for any fan of the series.
