Maybe to show, like in my example, a connection to something. Maybe i wanted to honour someone or something, who isn't able to buy such expensive things. For example a mawashi with the crest of my small and/or poor home town. These things are expensive, and most rikishi are not that rich. And the ones they are gifted can incorporate desired design elements. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sumimasen in advance for digging deeper, i'm just into curious little details. Japan has some weird behavioural codes. It is expensive - they have a koenkai and sponsors for everything that is costly. Except the long term yokozuna, no rikishi has really big funds to spend. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
