What is fundoshi?

Fundoshi is a traditional Japanese undergarment that is usually made of a single piece of fabric, wrapped around the body and tied at the front. It is worn by men, and occasionally by women, and has been used for centuries as a form of underwear in Japan.

There are different styles of fundoshi, including the mokko fundoshi which is a loincloth style, the etchū fundoshi which is a narrower style, and the rokan fundoshi which is a modern version with adjustable straps.

Fundoshi are often worn as a form of traditional clothing for festivals and other special occasions, and are also sometimes used in martial arts training or as a form of swimwear.

In recent years, fundoshi have experienced a resurgence in popularity as a form of traditional Japanese fashion and have become popular among young people in Japan. They are also sometimes worn as a form of cosplay or as a novelty item.
