Vtg Japanese Seal Hanko Inkan  

This is a vintage Japanese stone carving seal. This type of seal is called the Tenkoku-In seal. This stamp is stamped as a signature on calligraphy, paintings, and other calligraphic works. I think the two seals are the person’s name and Shosai-go (artist’s name). Or Yu-in seal (A seal stamped to decorate calligraphy or paintings) some people use it. Inkoku/Yokoku (Inkoku is white letters, Yokoku is red letters). It has the name of the engraver on the side of the stamp.
