Japanese here, it is still crazy people need to bring a big wooden stemp around to sign government documents and contracts. and bringing physical documents around in a suitcase.
I made a wax seal last year so that I could be an extra bitch when sending letters to my friends.
I like sending people letters and postcards, because the added friction of the physical process makes it feel more meaningful. It’s almost got a ritual feel to it.

It’s actually called a hanko! I think they’re pretty neat. You get a custom one that counts as your signature.

Kind of silly in he modern era, but also neat. Maybe they gotta start putting in security chips for like cryptographic signatures.
Signing your name is equally as silly. They don’t know why my signature even looks like lol
I see nothing wrong with a giant wooden stamp.
Bring back melted wax letter seals too.
