Business Etiquette in Japan: 17 Definitive Tips to Do Business With the
Japanese
Prepare business cards in advance: The way you present and introduce
yourself to Japanese potential business associates plays an immensely
important role for the outcome of any future potential relation.
The message essentially (по сути) is “Not only am I interested in a mutually
beneficial deal, but I’m also not assuming that my way is THE way”. Potential
Japanese business partners will always take notice (заметят) of a non-
Japanese who has more experience with the country, culture, and mannerism
than others.
Before you leave for Japan prepare business cards specifically for your
trip. Meishi (or name cards) are widely used in Japan and they are exchanged
at every meeting, with many people. Even for a 3-day business trip, you will
probably want several dozen (дюжина) cards with you – and will likely want
several hundred if you will be attending a trade show or other event. The
design, and the information on the card provide the very first look into your
attention to detail and care for your business.
When you order your cards, don’t assume that all the people you’ll meet can
read or speak English fluently (свободно). Make sure (позаботьтесь) that the
card is both in English and Japanese (using the card’s two faces for this purpose
is the most common method) and if possible, have someone with a professional
understanding of the language proofread (вычитать) your card before sending
to print.
Always keep your cards in perfectly mint (новом) condition without folds
(сгибов), scratches (царапин), dog ears (загнутые края) and the likes
(подобное). Do not keep your cards in your pants pocket (карман) (especially
your back pocket). It does not look professional, in Japan, to hand someone
something you fished from a pocket too close to certain areas of your body.
