What is a Sealing Stamp?*
A sealing stamp is a stamp made from wax (usually wax from a candle).
Its history goes way back, as it was used in medieval Europe to seal envelopes and confidential documents*
The fact that something was sealed with a sealing stamp meant it hadn't been opened by anyone else, which served as proof that the information had not been leaked.
Vintage and Stylish♡
As time went on, sealing stamps became popular in Japan for their vintage and stylish appeal,
and they started being used when sending letters or wrapping gifts♡
One characteristic of sealing stamps is that the atmosphere changes dramatically depending on the color of the wax and the design of the stamp used.
Bright colors like pink or red and designs like flowers create a cute atmosphere,
while gold or brown hues and designs like leaves give a more luxurious feel*
A Classic Use: Adding Them to Invitation Envelopes*
