The second most obvious phenomenon generated by anime (after a lot of money changing pockets) is an increased interest about Japanese language and culture.

But let’s face it, not many anime fans can actually learn Japanese. However, there’s an easy way of leaving a Japanese mark on whatever you want: the DIY Japanese Name Stamp Set.

There’s not much DYI involved, actually. You get a list of Hiragana characters and their English phonetic equivalents, decide on how you’d spell your name with them, slide them into the stamp and tada!

Why someone would want to stamp their Japanese-style name all over the place is unclear, but this is much easier than actually having to write it down.
