What is a "mawashi"?
A mawashi is the traditional belt worn by sumo wrestlers during matches. It is a wide piece of cloth, usually made from heavy cotton or silk, that is wrapped around the waist and tied in place with a knot at the back. The mawashi is worn during sumo tournaments and practice, providing support and allowing freedom of movement during the intense grappling and throws involved in sumo wrestling. The color and style of the mawashi can vary depending on the wrestler’s rank, with higher-ranked wrestlers wearing more elaborate versions.
