Customize in editorAbout this seal
The mitomein is a casual, unregistered hanko used for day-to-day acknowledgements: receiving parcels, stamping internal documents and confirming you have read a circular. It usually shows only the family name and, unlike the jitsuin or ginkoin, is not filed with any authority — so it carries no formal legal weight on its own but is convenient for routine use.
Common uses
- Acknowledging deliveries and parcels
- Internal circulars and read-receipts
- Routine office forms and approvals
- Everyday paperwork that does not need a registered seal
How to create it
- Open the template — the round mitomein layout is pre-applied.
- Enter the family name to appear on the seal.
- Choose Mincho for tradition or Gothic for a clean modern look.
- Keep a compact round frame typical of everyday seals.
- Export a transparent PNG or SVG.
Frequently asked questions
Does a mitomein have legal weight?
It is unregistered and informal, so it carries far less weight than a jitsuin. It is meant for routine acknowledgements, not major contracts.
What name goes on a mitomein?
Usually just the family name. Ready-made mitomein are even sold by common surname; the editor lets you set any name.
