Respect for Meshi or Business Card
The use of business cards is common and extensive in any part of Japan. A foreigner would receive a card when meeting a business partner for the first time. But there are some essential points to keep one from trouble.
The business card, also called Meshi in Japan, is seen as a representative of one’s business. So the business card is respectfully collected with both hands and a small bow. It is gently kept in the pocket. Anything different is found offensive and disrespectful.
