Excerpt from Danitrio:
Nine dragons were painted as a part of a design for a king’s robe. The Dragon is the king of all legendary animals in both China and Japan. Robes decorated with golden dragons were only allowed to be worn by kings. There are eight visible dragons on the robe, and one is hidden under the lapel. Nobles adjacent to the king were only allowed to wear robes decorated with eight or fewer dragons. Dragons with five claws were only for kings;others were allowed to have only four or less. The gold color is a sign of wealth.
The dragons were made with Gold Taka Maki‑e, surface paintings, Raden, sprinkled gold powder, many different colored Urushi, Togidashi, Gold Maki‑e and Silver Maki‑e. This design is extremely detailed. YOK‑26G. The artist, Yuhaku (whose real name is Masayuki Hariya), uses many different sizes of Nashiji.

In sumo wrestling, the "Yokozuna" is the highest rank a sumo wrestler can achieve. The term means horizontal rope which is derived from the rope that is worn around the Yokozuna's waist.
