Why KORI Stamps Stood Out
📌 Transparent Precision
One of the biggest challenges with traditional stamps is aligning them just right. KORI Jirushi solves that by being fully transparent, allowing users to see exactly where the stamp pad will land—reducing misprint errors and making multi-stamp layouts easier.
🧊 “Ice” in Its Name, Crystal Clarity in Practice
In reviewers’ words:
“この氷印は、その見事なまでの透明性で、捺し位置を完璧にとらえることのできる逸品。”
In other words, the “ice” metaphor isn’t just poetic—it matches the product’s clarity in usage.
🎯 Innovative in a Crowd of Classics
While there are many stamp products on the market, judges highlighted that KORI’s idea—transparent parts, ease of positioning, combining design with utility—was refreshing and necessary in the stamp niche.
This combination of visual clarity + functional innovation led the panel to honor KORI as the winner in the “Idea” category.
