In this installment I talk about hakama, the Japanese term for pants. Hakama came in many varieties and were pretty different from what's worn today, if you have any questions feel free to comment and ask.

  • I really hope you continue to make these videos, I want to learn about the clothing.

  • @ZSawchuk I probably will since this is my first distribution partner video, which is why I didn't say fuck fifty times in it like my usual vids

  • For the naga-bakama, did they actually walk on the trouser legs? Did they try to avoid walking, wear them seldom, or did they just patch or replace them? Would this phenomenon (walking on the ridiculously long trouser legs) just be an extreme manifestation of people wanting to show off their wealth (with nice garments)? Compared to the pleats the amount of fabric is clearly seen. And compared to the pleats the wear and tear is maximized rather than minimized. They seem a very bold statement. Tnx

  • @therealkakkamakkara nagabakama were only worn in castles to restrict movement. it was harder to try and kill someone when you couldn't move your legs

  • i once heard of a version of the kataginu that featured several pouches on the back part (inside)

    my master said that those were worn by assassins pick-pockets and so to make them look formal while being able to hid stuff in there like money bags and such

    do you know anything about that ? or maybe where to buy them or a tailor who makes kataginu and you maybe find a way to make them customizalbe to that point of adding pouches ?

  • @Cheerok i don't think thats possible. kataginu is super thin made of a combination of paper and silk. you wouldn't be able to hide anything in them

see all

  • verry nice hakama!!! whered' u get em??

  • To popularity of the Japanese culture in recent Europe and America, it is deplorable that the fraud by such a Korean strides.

    Of martial arts in Japan made a figure, and the movement would refer to Kung Fu and comics and an animated cartoon.

    Such a fraud by the Korean strides all over the world now.

    Although I dislike Japan, I pretend Japanese and do business. Please do not be deceived!

  • I've seen Hayes wear these in some of his books while climbing and such, always seemed they would make too much noise for sneaking around. This makes sense to me. Great vid's that you do.

  • I would love it if you did a series about Japanese clothing. So much culture in your videos. Keep it up, BTW (its zatoichi im back baby!)

  • On korisuya it says the kimono are coming soon well they be up on your website soon?

  • Ive never had my hands on a Kataginu, but isnt the back of it lined with a stiff board to give it that standing look?

  • does this mean that 'ninja pants' are a form of sashinuki?

  • SO MANY TYPES OF PANTS!!
