When I was a young child, my grandfather gave me my first stamp. It was designed with my name, "Asako," and he had carved it himself.

I still remember my excitement when I first stamped it.

I might find other "Asako" stamps, but my first stamp, which embodies my grandfather's love, is one of my greatest treasures.

This one-of-a-kind stamp gives me the strength to do impossible things. It's been with me through the most difficult of challenges and the most rewarding of triumphs. It reminds me about who I am, where I come from, and where I will go.

I will carve your name stamp with the same care and effort that my grandfather used when he carved "Asako" for me. A hand-carved stamp is full of flavors and complexities that machines can never reproduce. Your unique name stamp perfectly represents you; no one will ever have the same stamp, just as no one will know everything about you and your journey.

When you use your stamp for the first time, take a second to remind yourself that you are one-of-a-kind.

I hope you'll experience the joy I felt when I received my first stamp.
