はんこは害悪＝不見識　山梨県知事、河野氏に苦言「押印と区別を」

Governor of Yamanashi Prefecture complains to Mr. Kono

Kotaro Nagasaki, the governor of Yamanashi Prefecture, said at a press conference on the 29th, "I understand that you can 'eliminate the seal' in the administrative procedure, but please be careful about the phrase 'eliminate the stamp'." he complained. Governor Nagasaki points out that "Hanko" and "seal" are confused as one of the top producers of stamps in Japan, causing reputational damage. "It is extremely annoying to spread extremely ignorant and misunderstood that Hanko is harmful to society," he said.

At the same time, he asked for accurate wording, "I want you to send it to the world even more clearly," keeping in mind the weight and influence of the words that Mr. Kono sends on Twitter. He said he would seize the opportunity and meet Mr. Kono in person to request it.
