Hakama are these somewhat baggy traditional clothing that are considered to be men’s formal wear today. However, women’s hakama
has its unique history too.
Hakama has existed since the Heian period and it was originally one of the undergarments which the aristocrats wore, both men and women. The “巫女 MIKO” Shinto maidens still wear the red hakama worn at the time.
However, coming into the Edo period, women were prohibited from wearing hakama. The Edo shogunate (samurai government) clearly divided the people in classes and restricted what they could do and wear, to keep them in their place and to prevent rebellions.
Luckily though, women’s hakama were revived when the Edo period ended and Japan Westernized in the late 19th century. With the gradual spread of education for women as part of the modernization policy, women's hakama became popular as clothing that made it easier to sit in a chair during class and to move around in school.
From 1923, Western style school uniforms became more common but even today, there is a tradition where female students wear women hakama for graduation ceremonies.

“Tell them what to wear to prevent rebellion” that sounds like something that would cause rebellion
just another psychological factor for the samurais to remain in power for as long as possible
a lot of east asian class rules were downright outrageous.
When you are born and raised and told to do a certain thing over and over again without outside influence telling you otherwise, you assume that is the norm.
@@tink6225 uhhhm same with medieval Europe. Did you forget they were pheasants and kings and serfs an actual social hierarchy back then. Peasants weren't even allowed to wear certain clothing back then. Not to mention Jim Crow and the Slavery that happened in America.
Well, the edo period lasted for 200 years so it worked at least,
I have been reading books on modern Japanese lifestyle, but can't seem to find books by actual Japanese people that discuss things like omoiyari, kirei, zakka, ikigai, wabi Sabi, and other things along those lines. Do you think you can do a video about different life philosophies?
Hahha ikr I hear more white people talk about those lifestyles than Japan people
@@caviersim3806 maybe because Japanese people don’t feel the need to write about it and if they are it’s in well Japanese and no company has wanted to translate because it probably thinks the demographic is too small .
@@caviersim3806 You can be both White and Japanese at the same time. Learn common sense.
@@user-nu3sd7zb2j you’ve completely missed their point. their only saying “white people talk for then japan then japanese people” which means white people, non asians, talk most about japan instead of japanese people
@@user-nu3sd7zb2j I think you need common sense because that clearly wasn't the point of their comment. Most Asian people don't exactly feel the need to explain or analyze their culture because they were born in it. A non Asian white person however is more likely to study and learn about their culture and talk about. Literally nothing in their comment implied what you said
I think I could listen to this man talk about Japanese history and culture all day for the rest of my life
Exactly, right? I’d love to take a class learning more about this
Even better id u just like history and culture is linfamy
I just love Japanese history. Most people think it's all dictators and samurais, but the civilian history and culture is *super* fun to hear about. Love it!
Yes
Same!
Tbh i really want to have a hakama as a clothing to wear when i watch tv early in the morning or just for my study sessions.Idk man i know its weird but i really love doing peace time in hakama and its cool.
@@samuraiboi2735it's not that wired, hakama are comfortable, what're you gonna do about it?
@@samuraiboi2735 buy one. Surely you can purchase one from an online store like Amazon.
You know it hadn’t occurred to me that the iconic Japanese uniforms derived from western influence. Hakamas seem very cool!!
Western culture is getting a bit outdated, western culture is best for the west but for countries like india, it’s better to remain indigenous and not fall for the western trap of being diluted
They are cool, but annoying to put on. I wear them for Aikido class and there’s 4 different straps that we have to wrap and tie around the obi and the other straps to get this tight seal around the waist
Now that's a graduation I want to be part of, these caps and gowns are ight but to wear that. 😊👌
I was really glad I could wear Hakama when I was still practicing Kendo. It is so comfortable! :D
As someone who wants to travel to Japan, it's great to truly understand their culture more than just their language! Thank you!
Hakamas are so cool! I'd honestly love to see them being worn more.
As a kendo practitioner that wears them regularly since they're part of the uniform for it, they look cool, but they are quite impractical compared to regular pants.
They take some time to tie or untie, and you have to go through that every time you want to go to the bathroom (unless you're just going to pee as a man, then you can kinda pull them up and do it through the leg opening, which is awkward but saves time.)
And if you use them for anything other than just going to the dojo, they have a tendency to catch on stuff easily.
And when you lift your leg a bit more during a step, sometimes your toe can get caught in it and trip you. Sometimes happens when you try sprinting on it, and walking up stairs with it is consistently a bother with it.
But at least they somewhat conceal your leg movements in a kendo match, so there's that.
Bruh, the editing, give me some more
In college our theater department put on an original Noh X Greek tragedy crossover called Icaurs. In true Noh fashion it followed a traveller meeting the wandering ghost of Daedalus, trapped through his grief over Icarus's death. All of us in the chorus/ instruments wore bronze Greek style tops with gold hakama, tabi, and metallic laurel wreaths. It was crazy how well the fusion worked imho.
I love when videos point out how the union of 2 cultures can create changes for the better while retaining differences of their original cultures. As a mixed race person I think it's beautiful.
as another mixed race person i agree :)
Hello! I'm really happy I saw this today, because I absolutely adore the Hakama as a piece of fashion.
I've made it the subject of my graduation project back in college. Not a lot of people outside of Japan really know or really care, but I find the history of cultural clothing and the way it's presented today just fascinating!
It's very wonderful to know many histories of (literally almost) everything in Japan. I think every smallest detail of Japanese culture is art. Even the clothing. It's beautiful and meaningful ❤
In my opinion, having or knowing things with history and meaning, making it way more valuable to own, to wear, and to respect.
And thank you Shogo-san for sharing lots, and lots of informations with us😊
Keep up the good work! ✨
The women's hakamas are so beautiful! I love the patterns and colors!
Hello there Shogo! I've been learning a lot about Japanese history and culture with your videos lately, and I have some questions precisely about traditional Japanese clothing: what's the difference between kimono and yukata? For what purposes are they used for? Is there any restrictions to use both of them?
Love your vids, take care!♡
Maybe someone will kill me for this comparison, but imagine a yukata like a t shirt and a kimono like a sweatshirt. Yukatas are basically spring/summer kimonos. They're made of lighter fabric and are also shorter so they can be worn during summer. Kimonos keep warmer than yukatas
He has a video about it on his channel if you want to check it out.
Kimono are more formal and are often made of silk, while Yukata are less formal and are often made of silk. During a spring festival you'd wear a Yukata, and for your wedding you'd wear a kimono or a variation of one, obviously there's some wiggle room but thats it in a nutshell.
I’ve always been interested in Japanese and samurai culture since I was young. I’ve always wanted to visit Japan to see the old castles, the country side, the cities.
When this guy is in your shorts feed so much that you now know more about Japan than your own country 💀
Hakama are sooo comfortable too. Just super relaxing wear.
Beautiful people, beautiful country and beautiful history and culture..
Thank you again for teaching me about your country and history. I just love it. You inspired my daughter to learn Japanese in college and I am very proud of her!
I have 2 Hakama, one for my martial arts class, and a pink one which was a gift from my Sister.
At first I wondered why you present yourself the way you do in your videos
However you have done a good job of creating an atmosphere on your channel and I now really enjoy seeing your stuff pop up
these clothes are just beautiful
I love ladies hakama. They are just so darned cute!
Thank you for informing us about traditionel stuff like this i really enjoy your videos it helps people understand each other more i love japanese culture
I forgot to put my keyboard in romaji, and this came up. I’m half-Japanese graduating my Saturday school soon, so I was looking for tips on how to wear, and this came up and I got interested. I didn’t know about the history! Thank you!
I love the fabrics used in these articles if clothing.
I was wondering for a while about the Hakama and what it was specifically worn for, once again very helpful and they look beautiful in them!
Year 12 recently graduated and there was a beautiful mixed girl that wore what I now think is a hakama. It looked like she had to walk a bit awkwardly in her sandals but a lot of my friends were talking about her and complementing the gorgeous pattern she was wearing afterwards. I think she had her grandmother with her, that day I saw a ton of great outfits!
They look so comfortable!
omg i want one for me, they are so classy and beautiful!
i love Japan so much that i wish i can come there someday
I like the colors of your cloths. The grey and green are very nice.
I'm a member of the western gyaru community, and I'd been interested in the fashion since I was a child and saw that one episode of pokemon where team rocket was disguised as kogals. It would be cool to see more short (or longer!) videos like this about historic fashion, even modern street fashion.
This was super interesting! Thank you! Just out of curiosity which period in Japanese history has a lot of cool stuff but is commonly ignored or underappreciated?
Hakama look so good on everyone!
I've always loved this form of clothes thanks for more info on the history of them
Hakamas are really pretty, I hope to get a chance to wear them someday
my little history major brain gets so excited about historical dress. so gorgeous.
I love this channel I don't know anything about Japanese culture but I'm learning a lot
I love all the interesting facts you disclose.
I didn't know about hakama for grad ceremonies, that's pretty cool!
Interesting!
Thank you!
Great. Thanks for reminding me on what's the name of hakama! I nearly forgot it.
I only wear kimonos when i was young (well I'm still young) when I go to the shrine, festivals and whem i go to my gramma
Hakama and Kimono's are so pretty and have such an amazing history
Love this guy's videos. Such an educational treat when they pop up while scrolling through shorts. I've learned a lot from these. Japanese culture is so interesting and beautiful.
They are so beautiful!
I love getting these things explained to me in an understandable way! Thank you!
Historical/ traditional Japanese clothing is just beautiful 😍
The hakama looks beautiful.
At Muji stores there is the easy version of Hakama in the female closing aisle but just yesterday I saw a man with those precise pants. I have those myself and it's so beautiful.
The Hakama look beautiful and comfortable
I really like the way your videos are made, I dont know much about Japan but your videos are always great to watch
I've learned so SO MUCH from your channel. Thank you for all your time and effort!
Thank you for the history lesson! Much respect
The best thing about traditional Japanese garb I'd that it stays cool in the hot summers
I’m so happy that I already knew this! English education systems don’t touch on Asian history at all, I learnt this through TikTok- thank you for educating us! :)
I doubt the average Japanese student knows about the dressing conventions of the antebellum south either
@@alek1766 exactly why the education system as a whole should cover the whole world, it’s interesting to learn about others cultures and history
I love your videos. We learned absolutely nothing about Asian or African history in school and, like many Americans, I am acutely aware of my ignorance.
Yeah! I have one, and I love it! I love my hakama because they’re comfy ❤️
Super informative..I have always liked the dress code
very interesting! your videos are amazing and perfection from the voice over and editing to information! i love learning about other cultures and their histories! awesome job! keep up the great work! i love your videos!
I want a Hakama so bad! They look so comfortable
That looks supremely comfortable
Foreigners love Kimono, wanting to try it and think it's beautiful. And it is
But I allways thought Hakama was cooler. And when I got one I was so excited. They are so comfy, I wear them when I'm just around the house but maby need to go out.
I love that green!
Hakamas are absolutely beautiful, i honestly think it's prettier than most Kimonos. I want to own one so badly now
That is fascinating, I'm very interested in Wafuku. My kitsuke has been a point of pride.💖
They look so comfy
I love your videos about Japan and Japanese traditions!!!
I love your little animations/ illustrations!

This man teaches better history than all of my teachers
I wish I was new generation Japanese. Since I’m Hispanic people see me different because I’m into Japanese stuff. The culture it’s just so cool!!! Our tradition in my Hispanic cultures are dull
Doing the finishing touches on my hakama while watching this :D
This is interesting to learn
I love these videos,Japanese history and culture is so interesting 🥰I also love seeing how certain traditions of japan have been modernized
I'm so glad I can wear a Hakama as a woman today! I got it from my brother in-law, who's a master of modern arnis, but also practices a lot of other martial arts. Hakama are really comfy imo
It’s interesting to see how bits and pieces of traditional Japanese clothing make their way into even the most outlandish character designs in anime and video games.
Im so thankful for you on TH-cam this is very helpful I’ve always wanted to learn about Japanese culture but I’ve never had the proper motivation to actually do so so again thank you for teaching me and many others who have wanted to learn:]
I love your videos about Japanese history. Keep up the good work!
I like learning alot about Japan history
Hakamas look so cool and nice
This is interesting.
Thank you for sharing.
I love it it looks comfy
I think they are beautiful !
And very modest.
Its interesting to me that the body covering Kimono and associated clothing are more attractive to many than the revealing clothing such as Bikinis. There is an Argument that it is specifically Japanese Women that make these Kimono so attractive, yet having seen non-asian and non-females be just as attractive in Kimono I believe its the Mystery of what lies beneath that is the true Alure of these Garments.
Appreciate you ❤❤❤ thank you for your help and hard work!!
Why do so many cultures and leaders make the mistake of thinking that if you control every aspect of your constituents life they'll like you better and rebel less? Freedom and prosperity are what makes people rebel less.
Hakama are so cool and pretty. Wish I could wear one.
I love your videos you have taught me so much about Japan and the Japanese culture, thank you
Noticed you show the 4 class system - and one interesting thing is the bottom class, ie merchants.
While it is well known about how merchant being the worst class/career in East Asia, I hear some historians/anthropologians argue that disparaging merchants is universal, even in Historical western society (particular Dark Ages).
Would you consider doing a video about this (including reasoning) and compare it to historical western society?
Aikido female student here! We use dark blue hakamas :D, they are very hard to wear hahah
Hakama looks so much more appropriate then dresses with graduation gowns. My legs just looked so… bare
Whatever it is I think it's really pretty, and I'm glad you share your culture with everybody who comes through on the TH-cam shorts cuz we would have never known that. Most all of us especially older ones got our education through Hollywood and they did not put Japan in the best flight. But do they ever put anybody in the best light.
I would be interested to learn about why shrine maidens also wear hakama! Usually red, right? I love the story of how hakama became beautiful graduation wear 😊
Its quite interesting how money wasnt really the cornerstone of society but instead honor and contributions to society was. The hierarchy was Samurai> peasant> craftsman> merchant, which says a lot about what the society valued at the time.
Though merchants may have been the wealthiest of them all, they were held in the lowest regard.
Personally, hakama are my favorite of the traditional Japanese garbs! They give a sense of strength and power when I see them!
I didnt even know it was supposed to be men's only in a lot of peoples minds as my most memorable exposure to it was chihayafuru where the whole co-ed team wears them. 😭
Miko at Shinto shrines also wear vermilion hakama (or something very similar)
