Japanese stamp maker Kyourakudou (@kyouraku_stamp) has a large following of people mesmerized at their hand-carved creations, many who are often in disbelief that the stamps were made with nothing but a knife and a rubber eraser.

It seems as though Kyourakudou can carve out anything as stamps, from brilliant gemstones to colorful goldfish swimming on paper. Since all are handmade, no stamp is the same, and each carries its own quirks and traits as if it were a living entity.
