Dave, Day 4 and no answer so I get to try. I have a couple years of Japanese Art History from The University of Oregon (Duck-U) but don't worry, it had little effect on me. Here is my answer, They must have been early Michael Jackson fans.

I know of no Japanese custom involving a single glove but I do know a swordmaker who served a traditional Japanese swordmaking aprenticeship to learn the craft. I'd better email him.
