Emoticon Face Stamp shows rubberized emotion

Written by: Michael Keferl on March 15, 2008 at 8:45 pm | In Fashion & Lifestyle Trends |

Hanko (stamps) are an important part of Japanese daily life, whether signing for packages, rubber stamping at the local bureaucracy, or opening a bank account. However, they don’t show how you feel (and for good reason if you’re in a government office here!).

Now you can convey some 2D emotion with the Face Stamp just by changing the way you hold and pinch its little rubber face. Created by Design Office A4 from the Kobe/Hyogo area, it comes in blue, black, and pink, but you have to create the expression yourself.

LOL, of course tttt will see this. Someone with that little of a life surely has every comment he has ever left bookmarked, just hoping for some recognition.

The stamps are pretty cool, but I would think the entire surface wouldn’t contact the paper once you squish it up like that.

This is the problem with the internet. There’s a lot of opinions from a lot of dweebs who would otherwise have no means of output to an audience they believe are taking any notice. Irony, do I get it?

Boo back at you guys.Great new concept, great creative skills, whether or not its perfect is all but irrelevent.

A person that used such a thing would be no more than 12 or 14. Its a novelty; not a tool.
