Shachihata

In Japan, seals are still used in many situations.

There are several types of seals, which are used according to the importance of the document, and the least legally effective seal is called 'shachihata' (シヤチハタ).

Shachihata is a mass-produced and useful rubber stamp, but it has no legal validity because it is difficult to authenticate the person's identity and is prone to deterioration.

Shachihata is also the name of the company that sells shachihata, and the name came from the fact that a flag ('hata' (旗) in Japanese) with a golden dolphin ('kin no shachihoko' (金のシャチホコ) in Japanese), which is the symbol of Nagoya Castle, was used as the product design.
シヤチハタ

日本では、未だに印鑑があらゆる場所で利用されています。

印鑑は幾つかの種類があり、書類の重要度によってが使い分けられていますが、最も法的効力が低いものに「シヤチハタ」と呼ばれるものがあります。

シヤチハタは大量生産されたスタンプ式のゴム印で、手軽ではありますが、本人認証が困難であることや、経年劣化が懸念されることから、法的効力がありません。

シヤチハタはこの印鑑を販売している会社の名前でもあり、商品のトレードマークとして「(名古屋城のシンボルである)金のシャチホコが描かれた旗」が使われたことに由来します。
