Motif stamp title: Judi-Kins under the plum tree

Stamp on handle size: 7 cm x 12 cm Japanese poem: "Under the plum tree" The poem was written in the Edo period (1603-1867). The author is unknown, although the artist's first name is included in the text. The model was probably an old woodcut. The poem is written in the author's own artistic script and is very difficult to read. Each character has an exact meaning. If you tried to interpret the poem and translate it into German, it would read as follows: The early blooming plums of Minonu. I had the feeling that the old flowers in my homeland were already blooming. I also had the feeling that this morning the scent emanates when the wind blows under the plum tree. Good stamps, stamp well! The Heindesign stamps are made of red rubber. This rubber - which was made from natural rubber - guarantees a fine, detailed impression and an extremely long service life for the stamp. The stamp motif is pressed (vulcanized) into the rubber with heat and pressure. For easy handling of the stamp, the rubber stamp is glued to a handle with a dampening layer. This handle consists of a lacquered beech wood block, which shows the motif in its original size. When mounting the stamp, the stamp rubber is aligned in such a way that the rubber sticks exactly under the image on the block. So you can always stamp straight and precisely. • The Heindesign stamps can be cleaned with water, but should be dried off quickly. • The Heindesign stamps are suitable for paper and fabric printing.
