Made by people, not by machines

Everything in our shop is made to order in Taiwan by hand. Here is who makes it, and how.

印
A family seal shop in Taipei

The seal carver

Every Name Seal is cut by hand with a steel chisel, character by character, mirrored so it prints the right way round. A good carver reads your name first and decides how the strokes should share the square, so no two seals are ever the same.

書
Taipei

The calligrapher

Your name is brushed in ink on Xuan rice paper in a single sitting. Calligraphers practise for decades so the brush moves without hesitation; you can see the speed and the pauses in every stroke.

廟
Wealth temples in Taiwan

The temple visit

For Temple Wealth Charms, one of our team goes to the temple in person. We light incense, say your name and birthday to the god, and ask with moon blocks. We film the request so you can see it happen, then mail you the charm.

羅
Taipei, Taiwan

Luopan Studio

We are a small team in Taipei. We check every piece, take the photos you receive, write your certificate card, and pack each box by hand before it goes to the post office.

Our promise

You see it before it ships

We email you photos of your own piece, not a stock picture, before it leaves Taipei.

Signed and numbered

Named pieces come with a certificate card: your name, what each character means, the date it was made and the maker's signature.

Real temple visits

Temple charms are requested in person, and we send you the video. If we can't go, we tell you and refund you.

Made right, or made again

If anything arrives damaged or wrong, we remake it or refund you. Write to us.
