Don’t underestimate the importance of business cards【 WHAT NOT TO DO JAPAN】

Tradition and Culture

In Japan, business cards, known as “meishi,” are highly regarded and play a crucial role in business etiquette. Here’s why taking care of business cards is important in Japanese culture.

  1. Symbol of Respect: Exchanging business cards is a formal ritual in Japan and is often the first step in establishing a business relationship. Treating someone’s business card with care is a sign of respect for the individual and their position.
  2. First Impression: In Japanese culture, first impressions are essential. The way you handle and treat someone’s business card can leave a lasting impression. Mishandling or disrespecting a business card may be interpreted as a lack of respect or professionalism.
  3. Attention to Detail: Japanese business culture places a high value on attention to detail. Taking care of someone’s business card demonstrates your attention to detail and your willingness to adhere to formalities.
  4. Professionalism: Properly exchanging and handling business cards is considered a mark of professionalism in Japan. It shows that you understand and respect the cultural norms of business interactions.
  5. Communication Tool: In Japanese business culture, business cards serve as more than just contact information. They often include important details about the individual’s position, company, and hierarchy within the organization. Carefully examining a business card can provide valuable insights into the person you are meeting with.
  6. Networking Tool: Exchanging business cards is a fundamental part of networking in Japan. Building a network of contacts is essential for business success, and maintaining good relationships often starts with the exchange of business cards.
  7. Etiquette and Protocol: Japanese society places a strong emphasis on etiquette and protocol. Following the proper protocol for exchanging and handling business cards demonstrates your understanding of and respect for Japanese business customs.
  8. Long-Term Relationships: Japanese business culture values long-term relationships and loyalty. Taking care of someone’s business card can help foster a positive relationship that may lead to future business opportunities.

Overall, taking care of business cards in Japan is not just about the physical card itself; it’s a reflection of your attitude, professionalism, and respect for the individual and the cultural norms of Japanese business etiquette.
