What are the triangle headbands that ghosts wear in anime? Well, that's what I'll be talking about in today's blog post! Anime fans may have noticed that ghosts often wear a strange headband with a single triangle on it. Why is this, and what is the purpose of this headband? Well, the headband itself is used to show that a character is a ghost. This is an easy way to show fans that the character isn't human, without having to change the design of the character too much. These corpse headbands are an easily recognizable symbol, so they're common in anime even now. Traditionally, the headbands were a part of how the dead were dressed. Because of this, the headbands have become associated with death, and subsequently ghosts. I wanted to talk about this because it's still a common question in the anime fandom even now, and the answer is actually pretty interesting. As always, here's a picture of Fuyumi Yanagi from Blood Lad wearing a ghost headband as an example. Enjoy!
