Seal carving
The seal carving ( abbreviation = long mark :篆刻, Pinyin : Zhuanke) is from China derived and in East Asia widespread commercial to prepare stamp.
Since the seal carvers mostly also do ink painting or calligraphy , the craft activity in Asia is traditionally assigned to the arts and crafts and viewed as a scholarly discipline. It belongs to the basic “four arts” of scholars: poetry, painting, calligraphy and seal carving.
That is why the Chinese art of seal cutting describes the carving practiced much more precisely than the western idea of a craft.
