Pimp your business card in a gram of Mitsubishi fine gold

Business cards are very important in Japan. However, more than card style, the writing on the side (called katagaki 肩書�??) gives you rank and importance. There are, of course, exceptions to this.

There’s been a bit of chatter about a gold Hello Kitty card available out there, but
Kitty-chan doesn’t exactly have a lot of meetings or power lunches. This one is for the Patrick Bateman in all of us: The Mitsubishi Fine Gold Card. You can now have your original business card re-printed on recycled paper and coated in a gram of fine gold.

This Japanese blogger received a sample card at the beginning of the year from Coca-Cola, mentions a previous card campaign from coffee brand Georgia, and sees great potential in this as an easy way to give bribes, though melting them down might be a little strange.

Now, when you pull out your card case and Bryce asks, “Is that a gram?”, you can answer in the affirmative, with or without the Silian Rail lettering.
