Hakama

Hakama are the trousers that the samurai wore. They were the normal wear and not designed to hide the feet, or give the illusion of floating. In fact, the hakama was tucked up through the belt when a confrontation was imminent, just as the sleeves of the kimono were tied back with a tasuki. There were many types and styles that came in numerous colors and designs. The samurai were fond of vertical stripes as well as other patterned designs. Our quality Hakama are made in Japan, the striped one is 100% cotton. This particular striped pattern was one of the most popular for Kenjutsu and Ju Jutsu training in the 19th century.
