Postmark Rubber Stamp: Short Phrase
This series of wooden rubber stamps draws inspiration from traditional postal markings, precanceled stamps, and archival seals often found on letters, parcels, and everyday paperwork. Instead of dates or locations, each stamp features a short phrase, designed to function like a quiet mark of status, moment, or intention.
The phrases echo the visual language of postmarks: concise, official in tone, and slightly detached, yet deeply human. Much like markings such as “欠資” (postage due) or handling notes once used by postal services, these stamps are meant to annotate rather than decorate.
Originally released with 日常記錄 (Daily Record) and 是日限定 (For Today Only), the series quickly became a favourite for journaling and memory keeping. Over time, more phrases were added, each responding to everyday rhythms, states of mind, and small personal checkpoints.
