A long, slim wood-mounted rubber stamp of a penguin belly-down and shooting forward, with trailing speed lines behind it. The penguin is printed as a bold solid silhouette with a crisp wing and belly, so it reads clearly even in a single small impression.
The narrow strip shape fits along the edge of a journal page, across an envelope, or as a divider between blocks of writing. Stamp it over a background of bubbles and fish for an underwater scene, or repeat it in a row to make a whole waddle of penguins racing across the page.
Designed by Kodomo no Kao, a Japanese stamp maker with a long history of illustrated wood-mounted rubber stamps for journaling and correspondence. Their designs are a mainstay of Japanese stationery shops and are collected worldwide for their hand-drawn character work.
