1940s/50s Japanese soapstone Hanko seal in Bakelite slide case

A lovely piece of mid-century Japanese craftsmanship, this soapstone hanko seal captures the artistry of the 1940s-50s era. Hand-carved from soft soapstone, it's ready to make its mark—literally. The seal itself stands 7.5cm tall, while the original bakelite (or bakelite-like) slide case measures 10.5cm x 2.5cm x 2.5cm, offering both protection and a delightful vintage aesthetic. Perfect for collectors of Japanese antiques, stationery enthusiasts, or anyone who appreciates the tactile pleasure of traditional sealing tools. A functional collectible with genuine character.
