Not a new idea. A 2,000-year-old one.
The first recorded use of a Japanese personal seal dates to 57 AD — a gold seal granted by the Han Emperor to a Japanese envoy, now held in Fukuoka. For nearly two millennia, the jitsuin has been Japan's most trusted instrument of identity: impossible to forge, legally binding, and deeply personal.
This is not a clever new technology looking for trust. It is a system that already has a 2,000-year chain of trust — one that predates every digital protocol, every blockchain, every cryptographic standard. We have simply given it the permanence of mathematics.
Tried. Tested. Now immutable.
