刻印　コクイン　Carved Seal (wwJDICから）
刻印の印！！！
一日 （ついたち）　is one of those where if you look up the readings for any of the kunyomi / onyomi /, none of the mixed combinations make "tuitachi" come together.. It's a purely idiosyncratic form of 当て字 where kanji characters are used for their meaning and have developed a new pronounciation no longer reflective of standard usage. Sometimes also いちじつ。

And the game must go on...:-)
