Closing Clap

Tejime (手締め): a closing clap. The JapanKnowledge dictionary site defines it as many people clapping in rhythm, with a shout, to celebrate that a matter has been settled or achieved. It is also called teuchi. Repeated three times, the clap becomes sanbon jime, which many places treat as the formal version.
