Wow. That's amazing. I can't imagine Konishiki selling it himself. Although
his usually sloppy appearance belies it (or maybe because of it), I think
he's quite a wealthy man in his own right. Maybe it has something to do with
Konishiki's kids foundation.

A lot of the kesho-mawashi are not the personal property of the rikishi. After his retirement they are claimed by the businesses or organizations (or in rare cases, individuals) who provided them, and are often put on display. The ones provided by a university sumo-bu are, however, always the man's own property.
