English: Photo of a foreigner's "ginko in" (bank signature-seal) in a typical Japanese bank savings account passbook. The bank has been defunct for 5+ years All identifying bank details, account number, and bank employee's signature-seal have all been deliberately blurred or removed. This particular "ginko in" is no longer in use, but shows the freedom of "ginko in" design, size, and style permitted in modern Japan.

Note the 1.0 x 1.5 cm boundary box showing the maximum size permitted, and the round space for a bank employee's "mitome in" signature-seal alongside the banking customer's seal. Note also the protective clear plastic sticker placed over the seal to protect it from dirt, marks, and smudges.

The Japanese bankbook and "ginko in" restrictions shown here typical. The individual "ginko in" design shown here is, however, an extreme example intended to show the outermost limit of acceptable "ginko in" design.
