      Leases, mortgages, loans, hiring agreements. I feel like most major contracts get signed with Docusign these days. Been that way for a years now.

      There are alternative products, but they’re definitely the biggest player for digital contracts.

        Oh, digital contracts. They haven’t really taken off in Japan. We still use plain old stamping on physical paper here.

          Makes sense. Japan’s business culture is world famous for being weird as shit.

              All cultures are weird as shit when you look at them from the outside.

              (No, I am not excluding myself. There are plenty of people that could easily consider me weird as fuck. I rather enjoy that, so it kinda works out in the end.)

          I thought Hanko was slowly being retired for regular transactions and only being preserved for big events like marriage / new house purchase.

            The jitsu-in is required for marriage and purchasing property.

            The ginko-in is required for signing stuff as a business.

            The mitome-in is required by all Japanese for signing anything.

            The ginko-in and mitome-in are still required everywhere. I’ve never been sent an online doc that I could sign with an online service or blockchain, nor have I heard from anyone about it. It’s always a letter that I have to place my mitome-in on and send back.
