3.0 out of 5 stars ok, July 5, 2004

By A Customer

the stamps are mounted on wood, and they are aprox. 1 inch square. the definitions are not on the stamps but are on a piece of paper included in the kit. the quality of the stamps and the red ink stamp pad are only so-so.

4.0 out of 5 stars Art schools use these stamps and they stamp nicely., August 5, 2008

I went to an art school where one of the rooms included Asian themed products, including these stamps. They have a good representation of the different characters, including peace, gentleness, love, tranquility, etc.
They come out nicely on cards or notepaper.

1.0 out of 5 stars Questions/, March 3, 2000

By	Tricia (Maine) - See all my reviews

I am very interested in this kit but have questions that I am sure others will have. Are the stamps mounted with wood? What size are the individual stamps. Are the definitions of the each stamp scripted on the stamp? Thank you for you answers. Tricia
