On a recent visit to the Twin Cities, I gave my Japanophile friend lydamorehouse a business card ( I was showing off the new color pic) and she shared a little about the way Japanese businessmen exchange cards.
So a very nice Japanese couple stopped in my booth Saturday, and after I explained in mime what a batter bowl is and how one uses it (while they discussed it in Japanese), I reached the part of the visit where I ask if I can give them a business card.
This time, I held out the card in both hands, face up, bowing to her. She bowed back, said "Sank-you," showed it to her husband, pointing out the colorful rooster pitcher.
Lyda would be so proud.
