From the article...

Firstly, the culture of handwriting is firmly rooted here. For example, the majority of resumes are still handwritten because Japanese employers are said to judge people's personalities from their writings.

For season's greetings cards, don't dare think of sending computer generated messages, says Midori's "how to write a letter" website.
"New Year's cards without handwritten messages come across as businesslike and automatic," it says.

Not surprisingly, people aspire to have good handwriting...




 
Interesting article. Thanks for sharing, Lou! It is great to strive for honor in everything, even good handwriting!
 
I guess I will never be able to get a job in Japan. I didn't realize fax machines had gone out of style here. I am always faxing forms for work.
