印

Mark, Seal

しるし (shirushi)

JLPT N2

Interesting Fact

Instead of signatures, many Japanese people use a personal seal called a hanko or inkan. The kanji 印 means 'seal' and appears in words like 印鑑 (inkan).

Memory Trick

Imagine stamping an official mark onto a document. That single stamp leaves a permanent 印, meaning a mark or seal.
