Hakama

I belong to Aikido club. I practice it with 'dougi' and 'hakama.' When you do judo or karate, you wear only dougi. In the case of Aikido, we wear hakama on it. Hakama is a long pleated culotte-like Japanese trousers. There are many kinds of hakama. We wear it when we practice kendo , kyudo; Japanese archery or when we attend a graduation ceremony of an university. A medium wear a red hakama. These hakama are different delicately. What's more, there are a lot of ways to do up.

This is my instructor of Aikido. He is about 50 years old, but very strong!
