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.

Kind of silly in he modern era, but also neat. Maybe they gotta start putting in security chips for like cryptographic signatures.
I see nothing wrong with a giant wooden stamp.
Bring back melted wax letter seals too.
