Sitting in a watering hole in Shinjuku's Golden Gai, meeting new people, exchanging name cards, one is likely to come across a tiny square name card with color caricatures on its front and back.
Comic figures, often bare-bottomed, are accompanied with one-word phrase text bubbles (or fart clouds), and sure to bring a smile and usually a laugh.
At the exchange, someone may be heard to exclaim, "Ah, a Bon name card." The drawings are indeed good, but there's nothing French about them. They are the creation of Japanese graphic artist Bon Yamamoto, known to all as simply "Bon."
