context_page_description: Tejime, also called teuchi, is a Japanese custom of ceremonial rhythmic hand clapping, typically accompanied by enthusiastic exclamation by the participants, performed at the end of a special event to bring the occasion to a peaceful, lively close. Tejime may be performed at the conclusion of such events as a celebration, meeting of shareholders, or the close of bargaining or other business negotiations. Tejime observes fulfillment, realization, and completion.
  Tejime begins by a call from the leader, typically "ote wo haishaku", after which the participants, just before clapping their hands, usually yell "iyō'o", "yo" or "mō itchō" in order to synchronize timing.
