Guest guest Posted June 4, 2007 Report Share Posted June 4, 2007 Namaste Hiroppi, in the old days and even today, seals made of ivory to be used with red ink are considered symbols of authority, prestige or simply putting one's name of a piece of Asian poetry, artwork or calligraphy. They are mainly used in Buddhist countries which also present the best pieces to visiting foreign dignitaries. If you are Buddhist, then I don't think Buddhism would consider ivory as a sin. But in Hinduism, its not good karma. Please meditate on the matter and see if you still want to continue using it. Long ago, I was sent a heavy steel seal from Japan with wax to use and this was great. The person who sent it used to live in Morioka.
