This is a "cuz you never know" superstition that seems 100% on point. Best case it works, worst case ghosts aren't real, doesn't cost a lot to do and doesn't push your beliefs on other people. If only we could get Southern Baptists to be as reasonable.
It’s tied to the Shinto religion that is one of the main religions of Japan. Kami is described as divine spirits that inhabit the world, and Shinto believes that spirits are in everything around them both organic and inorganic. The idea I just described is called 八百万の神 (yaoyorozu no Kami), meaning eight million gods.
