Oh, Japan! Don't you ever change.
Switzerland requires "wet" signatures too
(͡•_ ͡• )
That description makes weird pictures in my brain.
Basically means that it cannot be printed and must be done by hand, which originally implied being signed with ink.
I got that part but I had just imagined someone giving a bit fat sloppy lick across a signature line. (My brain can be quite broken at times.)
That certainly is an interesting take. I never thought about it this way
Makes sense. Japan’s business culture is world famous for being weird as shit.
Non-business culture as well.
All cultures are weird as shit when you look at them from the outside.
(No, I am not excluding myself. There are plenty of people that could easily consider me weird as fuck. I rather enjoy that, so it kinda works out in the end.)
I thought Hanko was slowly being retired for regular transactions and only being preserved for big events like marriage / new house purchase.
