Well I've just got back from an interview to enter my new senmon gakkou yesterday and It's been bothering me quite a while now. Since that is not the first time it happen. The first thing the interviewer ask me is "What's up with your hanko", I suck at translating to english so I think its something like that. Happens almost everytime, when I open a new bank account at mizuhos, job interview etc. They either give me a wierd look or just laugh when I took out my hanko.
If you have ever seen an old paintings (chinese or japanese i think) does have those kind of hanko, the big square one. Even wierder about my hanko is, It's written in romaji and katakana. Thus I got told alot theres not alot of people use katakana hanko. duh. Well, I didnt made those, my agent in malaysia made those for all the students who are coming to Japan. Sadly I'm the only non-chinese in the class so I'm the only one who got the weird hanko. And I cant relate to anyone since everyone in my school either have a kanji name or dont have a hanko.
So, since there's quite a few of people without kanji name living in Japan right now. What kind of hanko are you using? custom made with kanakana or the one with kanji that you bought from 99yen shop (If we can even use that? as in we have a romanji name using a kanji hanko?). Its quite problematic to me since my hanko is too big and often goes out the box for you to stamp on. I've been thinking about changing it, or something like that. Still thinking tho, since I used that hanko to open my bank account and stuff.
Thanks
