In sumo, members of the audience throw zabuton toward the ring after the upset of a yokozuna by a lower-ranked wrestler, despite the dangers.[1] In rakugo, performers are not allowed to rise from their zabuton for the duration of their skit. In yose, notably on the long-running television show Shōten, comedians receive zabuton as a form of scoring. In jidaigeki, according to a stereotype, the boss prisoner in a jail cell receives all the zabuton from his or her cell mates.
