Japanese Headbands

A Hachimaki is a Japanese headband or bandana.

Japanese headbands are considered to be a symbol of perseverance and courage. It is believed that hachimaki strengthens the spirit and protects the wearer from demons and evil spirits. Traditionally made of white cloth, headbands can be stylized to compliment a robe or a kimono costume.
