a combination of days of the week in Japanese kanji

with the earliest primitive form of Chinese characters

Oracle bone inscriptions (甲骨文; jiǎ gǔ wén) are the earliest Chinese writing scripts discovered. These characters were carved on tortoise shells and animal bones. They were basically used for recording daily activities and for almost everything, such as weather, cultures, health, farming and fortune.

These beautiful characters are primitive form of Chinese characters that we are using today. They shed light on how the language came into being, while also revealing clues to the origins of these characters.

Each piece of rubber stamps is assembled by hand with care and attention to details. We hope this unique creation will add some sparks in your everyday life.

It would be great for marking the day of the week or for adding delicate accents to your journal pages and outgoings. It could great as a gift for people who are looking for something unique or meaningful.
