Gyūho senjutsu, the ox-walk tactic, is a way for opposition members of the Diet to delay a vote. Members walk to the ballot box very slowly.
In June 1992, during the Diet debate on Japan’s part in United Nations peacekeeping, the opposition used it. According to The Christian Science Monitor, members took from 10 to 30 minutes each to walk about 20 feet to the ballot box. Voting on the first of five censure motions took eleven and a half hours. On June 9, the Socialists gave up the tactic.
