stamp
[posted at 12:47 GMT]    

As you may know I was in Japan this summer. I was there from my job as a coach/trainer for Philips Medical Systems. I was giving lessons to Philips Service Engineers there. We had very nice time and I have learned a lot about Japanese culture. At the end of my stay I have got presents, one of them is a signature stamp. This stamp has my name in Japanese language and such stamps are used in Japan as replacement for signatures. Especially those ones who are custom made and has certificate of originality.

The one I have received as a present is a such a one. It comes in extremely nice cover which is meant to be carried all the time with me.

I have decided to use this stamp as my signature to stamp all photographs produced by me. Here is the image which is produced by this stamp.
