Yoroshiku onegaishimasu...


Back to topic, are there any Kendoka here?
I want to ask how to wear Hakama, the creases I mean.
How to fold it??


"Two creases on the back, according to Japanese myth means the merger of Japan in ancient times, God of War (TAKE-NO-WE-MIKAZUCHI) was saved by the god of the sun (FUTSU-NUSHI-NO-WE). KOSHI-ITA between the two folds described the Sun God Amaterasu-Omikami. It really is a depiction of a concept WA (harmony and concord.)

Five-fold in the sides of the front of the hakama describes five principles, where one part is a unifier. Section - This section shall have the meanings: JIN (affection), GI (virtue / righteousness), REI (modesty), CHI (wise), and SHIN (sincerity / earnestness.)"

I'm guessing you just started out kendo? You can look for videos as gordo has pointed out. I'm sure Youtube has them. Or you can just ask your senior to teach you how to wear =/
