⚫️Japanese onomatopoeia Vol. 10 “BISHITTO” by Kay Koyama (JPN)

“BISHITTO” means “Be neat and tidy,” ” “Be strict” or expression of the hitting sound of hard materials such as SHINAI bamboo sticks of KENDO (剣道)martial art and KEISAKU(警策) long sticks used for ZA-ZEN meditation in Japanese temples.

Probablly Japanese use the word imaging the sound like “BISHI” (influenced by MANGA?) as if our spines made the sound when we stand straight (lol).
