WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!! THIS SAVED MEE TOO!! OMGOSHHH T~T' im in tears , i needed this badly :P kendo's tommorow and im behind on how to tie the bogu DOMO ARIGATOU!!!
@Cropsgrinder another version is that Nakayama Hakudo sensei used white gi and hakama to sort of make his student wash there own gi and especially the hakama more often. I think that tradition is still practiced in his dojo.
I recently asked a 7-dan sensei in Hiroshima about why he wears white gi and white hakama, and he said something about how his instructor wore that, and also white is the color of the emperor. Otherwise, it's generally a matter of personal preference. I myself prefer navy hakama and a white gi. I prefer a white gi because it's easier to clean: just throw it in with my normal laundry, or I can use bleach to get it extra clean.

the korean national team uses white hakama and gi, too.
it depends on the personal taste.

Where? In our dojo it is purely matter of personal taste (though only two people have white and they are both girls)
