What's with the basket over the head?

I've come across a few shakuhachi players on YouTube wearing a basked over their head and someone here also has one in their avatar. What's this all about?

Jon Kypros has an explanation on his website: komuso monks (and their weird headgear).

The basket keeps in all the crap that teachers put in your head.

Though it only really works if you have a hole in your head, live in a gravity free environment and take care to strap it on.
