Kesho-mawashi is a traditional ceremonial belt worn by sumo wrestlers during their matches. It is typically made of silk and can be quite elaborate, featuring intricate designs and colors that represent the wrestler's stable or personal achievements. The kesho-mawashi is worn over the wrestler's mawashi, which is the basic loincloth used in the sport. The kesho-mawashi is not only a symbol of the wrestler's status but also serves a practical purpose, as it helps to keep the mawashi in place during competition. Wrestlers often wear their kesho-mawashi during pre-match ceremonies, showcasing their unique styles and the rich culture of sumo wrestling.
