In November 2024, Ukrainian-born sumo wrestler Aonishiki was presented with a keshō-mawashi following negotiations between Kazuo Nakamura (director of the collection), a patron of Ajigawa stable, and the Keith Haring Foundation. The apron features Keith Haring's work "Earth, World", originally created in 1985 during the Cold War, representing a desire for world peace supported by people of different races and nationalities, echoing the war in Ukraine and a desire for world peace.[3]
