Dear peers,
I train judo to kids in Hungary. As Judo World Championship is coming next month we will attend the event (a judoka of our club will also compete in 73 kg). I will accompany the kids, and I had the idea to make some custom hachimaki head bands for the event (so I can easily recongnize our kids in crowd).
Traditional hachimaki design is usually the red circle of the Flag of Japan along with two kanjis that express determination, devotion or values dear to the wearer.
What about less traditional designs? National tricolor instead of the red circle? A team logo along the side? Somewhere?
As it will be worn by kids, I thought printing the 友情 (friendship) kanjis on it (out of the 8 core values of judo).
Do you find it OK with this design? Or would it be a "theft of culture" thing?
Thank you for your kind insights!
