A version of the sign for "Japan / Japanese"
JAPAN/JAPANESE-[older version, not recommended]
For a relatively extensive discussion regarding how to sign Japan

group -- the result of the discussion ended up being that even
different skilled JSL signers used slight variations on the sign for
Japan.

Notice that she is slightly mouthing "Nihon" while doing the sign
for Japan.
