Jap-Clap
Ever since the great earthquake in 1924 the Japanese have prayed silently for the dead at their shrines and temples. This practice of silent prayer has now been banned bv the Shrine Board, which calls it a “Christian custom alien to traditions.” Instead, the people are requested to give two deep bows and then two hand-claps.
