It is possible to pay only by holding up the cellular phone

Back in those days, this must be one of the creaative, controversial and bold print ads around.

Sadly, Sanwa Bank no longer exist. It has merged and now known as The Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ, Ltd.

Japan may have been ahead of the curve on the photo ID part, but since then has greatly lagged in actual use of credit cards. The “prophecy” of a cashless society has made great strides in countries other than Japan, while Japan has stayed in the relative past. I can think of no other country where it’d be perfectly normal for individuals to carry around such large sums of cash on a regular basis (which also speaks to how absurdly safe it is in Japan).

Not that there’s anything wrong with staying in the past…these ads just make for a quite amusing juxtaposition. Well done.

Japan was nearly always ahead of the curve, photo ID on Credit cards.

Although these ADs are hilarious in some aspect, the one about a cashless society is eerily prophetic, since that has been the global plan of the leading World bankers for sometime now.

Great Post!
