Our
Craftsmanship

Our Strengths

Koseido seal cases are individually produced by hand by craftworkers following a methodical in-house production process from the frame to the final product. Our products are perennially popular for the reasonable pricing achieved with our efficient production process coupled with the high quality of expertly handmade items created by experienced craftworkers.

Handmade by methodical
in-house production process

Because each case is made by hand, we have the flexibly to change the designs to each customer’s specifications while maintaining our precision down to the millimeter. We are continuing to develop our processes so we can offer even greater flexibility in colors and designs for order-made items.

Millimeter precision

Although the world of craftworkers has long been associated with men, the staff at Koseido is a balanced mix of men and women, which we have proudly had for over 30 years. All of our staff are skilled in highly detailed work and at fully meeting and exceeding our quality standards. All workers have a role planning new products, developing sales channels, and contributing to the company’s growth.

Balanced staff of craftworkers

Our seal cases are made with high-quality brass frames. While other companies cut costs by using cheaper metals, we maintain our strict tradition of unwavering dedication to quality.
