what is this one hand gesture? does it have a name??
i saw this in maybe one or two anime, in different situations and tried looking it up but couldn't find anything.
probably because i dont know what its called. google AI says its a gesture that can be used for multiple things like hello or sorry or excuse me, like a multipurpose gesture.
kind of like sumimasen.
ive also seen sumo do this kind of gestures.
is it multipurpose? is it a new gesture or an old one?
