Message

A Company that Adapts and Evolves with the Times

We sincerely appreciate your continued support and patronage. Since its founding, Kasai Co., Ltd. has upheld the philosophy of "creating and selling useful products" and has made steady progress in the stamp industry. Moving forward, we will continue to pursue this philosophy while adapting flexibly to changes in society.

The Future of Kasai
The seal and stamp material industry has already matured, and unfortunately, market contraction is inevitable. However, there remains room for growth in niche segments, such as novelty products and original character goods. Our company is focusing on developing products that respond to these new market demands, aiming not only to offset the industry's overall decline but also to grow alongside it. Additionally, while coexisting with the progress of digitalization, we will continue to develop new products and actively explore opportunities to enter other fields.

Challenge to the Overseas
Market Japanese culture, particularly manga and anime, enjoys immense popularity overseas. We are confident that by developing and selling new products targeting the international market, we can attract new customers and increase sales, even in a shrinking seal and stamp material industry. We will actively pursue expansion into overseas markets and strive to secure new revenue streams.

We expect that our overseas expansion will not only complement the shrinking domestic market but also hold the potential for significant sales growth.
