A hachimaki (鉢巻) is a stylized headband in Japanese culture, usually made of red or white cloth, worn as a symbol of perseverance or effort by the wearer. These are worn on many occasions, for example, by sports spectators, by women giving birth, students in cram school, office workers, expert tradesmen taking pride in their work, teen biker gangs and even rioters. They are generally decorated with inspirational slogans, most typically with the rising sun motif.
