Kamidake Posted September 7, 2003 Share Posted September 7, 2003 I've seen ukiyo-e pictures showing this type of underwear, so whoever thought that original questioner had been watching too many movies, I'd say you owe him an apology. I remember reading the purpose of it somewhere but can't think what it was. If I run across it again I'll mention it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nikkolaiashimon Posted September 8, 2003 Share Posted September 8, 2003 well its the same reason weight lifters wear weight belts, it helps keep your organs nice and tight inside. it helps support your back, and helps prevent hernias and internal organ damage. wrapping your gut up tight is an effective way to protect that area of your body.
