We’ve seen Sato Tadanobu above already, but I really like this:
But seriously, one method I’ve seen, and which I really like (besides playing an obviously illegal move like placing two stones of the own colour or one captured stone) is to give the lid with captured stones to the opponent, either bei handing it to them, or simply by putting it on their side of the board.
It probably doesn’t qualify as a proper resignation, so I would wait for their return, or until their clock runs out. I wouldn’t start clearing the board before that, except when the referee says I can.
Yeah, I just saw that, so deleted my post. 
Also taking a captured stone and playing it onto grid, thats actually my favorite ^___^

Another thing, and I don’t remember whether I read it somewhere or dreamed it:
Better to resign directly after one’s own move, so as not to force the opponent to think about their move only to have it be wasted after they played it.
Could this be some Japanese politeness thing? I like it, and often also do it that way (Real Life as well as online).
I think the opposite: I find it very rude to resign after playing a move. It’s like saying “I resign, but I still want to get the last word in”. Maybe a chess-go culture difference?
If I decide to resign after I’ve already played a move, I will wait for the opponent to respond, and then resign
I saw this happening in a few games but I won’t say it’s like a common practice, so I won’t make the step to put it as a cultural thing.
I see a lot of people on OGS resign after playing a move without waiting for the opponent’s move. Up till now I still don’t understand why.
I rarely see that being done in an OTB game. I guess it’s weird to play a move and then resign.
The only exception is when there’s a “misclick” and the stone is not at the place where it’s supposed to be. Then it makes sense to resign before the opponent plays.
The other situation I can think of is playing where you meant to play but upon placing the stone suddenly realising it was a dumb move, and rather than asking for an undo they just resign.
I think in general people put less weight on online games than IRL games, and so are more quick to resign and start a new game after a (perceived) blunder.
isn’t escaping to counting basically the same thing as escaping to checkmate? (i’m assuming here that shogi ends like chess does when there is no resignation)
I think even if you are checkmated in Shogi you should resign verbally. Otherwise you can let the time run out, but I feel like there’s the unspoken rule that you should resign once the checkmate is inevitable.
Resigning with dignity and respect makes your loss just a little less bitter. This way you only lose once. Being a sore loser and dishonourably ending a game makes you lose twice.
I don’t remember seeing or hearing this in Japan (I’ve played a few 100 games against Japanese players in Japan). IME everywhere I’ve played resigning when it’s your turn is normal (although not mandatory).
Just FYI
lose = opposite of win
loose = opposite of tight
Is the opposite of a tight win a loose loss?
Real question or joke? 
cause actually there is some nuance lol
Even then, I’d wait for their move to respond
Likewise, I’d still wait for them to respond before resigning
So i should change loose into lose. Will do that. Done.
Haha, funny 
I hope that you won’t think of me as rude if we ever play a game and I’d do that …
I also remember that at least twice when I did that the reason was that I realized that it was a totally stupid move, and I was so embarrassed that the only way to go on was to resign immediately.
Anyway, I usually do not resign without spilling a few words … so that might make a huge difference.
