The Mawashi: Sumo
A widely-seen variation on the fundoshi is the thicker, layered wrestling belt wrapped around the hips of Sumo wrestlers, which alternately goes by the names mawashi or shimekomi. The mawashi also sees much use during festivals, in a slimmer version than the 6-layered one worn by rikishi (professional sumo wrestlers). I'm planning some future posts of various Japanese traditional events and activities that display this other version.

Thank you for this series of pictures! I find Mawashi extremely masculine and erotic!!! I wrestle and I would like to start wearing the Mawashi! Do you know where I can find them, perhaps an online shop?! I also study traditional Japanese martial arts. I hope to connect with other gay men that also study the Budo arts. Your pictures never fail to give me raging boners. Thank you!
