Just wondering, why do some people have white gi and hakama instead of blue ones?

I have my first kendo practice today. I've been watching these videos over and over. THanks for posting them.

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.

its like samurai warrior i like it :-)

[Paul Gruber]

of course, i like it!

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.
