For example, I'm a white Jewish guy but I've adopted the Japanese practice of keeping dedicated house slippers at the front door.

I am not Jewish, but I have adopted the practice of placing stones/pebbles on my parents' gravestone each time I visit.

Is that cleaned up or are there a pile there after a while?

It stays. It looks like a purposeful embellishment. For my own family's purpose, it acts as a physical record of me visiting often (because extended family is judgemental and believes that I am not visiting at all).

Pro tip, leave a whole pile of rocks, enough to last for years
