hidden stamp

hi,
I'd like to know if the fact that the signature of a shakuhachi is hidden under a repair binding has a special signification or not.
Thank you

It usually means that it was in the way of the repair like this one.

I think this is why most makers put their stamp next to a hole where a binding can not go.
