The kanji 印 is a pictograph. It depicts a hand, which is represented by the 卩 (or 卪) radical at the bottom, and an object held by the hand, represented by the 口 at the top. This object is a seal or stamp used to leave an impression. The character therefore visually represents the act of applying a seal or leaving a mark.
