In Chinese and Japanese law, one needs a stamp to "sign" documents in one's name--"signatures" as Europeans know them are an impossibility as the Chinese script is much different than the Latin one. Also called a "chop", one's stamp must be registered with the authorities before it is officially recognized. These stamps, referred to (by the Japanese) as ''hanko'', or ''inkan'', are used with red ink to mark a document.

The practice was once common among European nobility and royalty (who at some points in history could have been illiterate, so could not literally sign documents, and as such needed some other way to give them their "seal of approval"), specifically through the use of signet rings to impress a personal seal into wax bindings on messages. (Wearing your personal seal on a ring also prevents the usual application of this trope, conveniently enough.)
