9A Sarashi Cotton

The Hakama 9A 晒綿 is 100% bleached cotton hakama.

This Sakuraya Hakama Sarashi Men 9A 晒し綿 is composed of good quality cotton treated to give it a bright white color. 9A refers to the number of cotton strands (9) that make up the main weaving thread.
Its thin and fluid fabric will satisfy practitioners who are looking for a perfect aesthetic when moving.

Like all Hakama, the back plate (腰板 - Koshiita) is a support protecting the practitioner in his falls, while ensuring the maintenance of Koshiita and lumbar.
The straps have multiple seams, strengthening their hold and longevity. Its folds are thermoformed (7 in number, distributed 5 front and 3 back), but as for any cotton hakama, it will require special care and a perfect folding.

The straps length of the Sakuraya hakama are:
- Total front strap length 400cm
- Total rear strap length 180cm
We thank you to consider this point.

The term 'Sarashi' 晒し means 'bleached', in contrast to the unbleached Hakama Kinari Canvas that can be found under the term 'Misarashi' 未晒し.

Sakuraya offers us 3 Hakama finishes:
Aikidō - 合気道: Soft Koshiita / Without Koshibera / 4 Seam lines on lannies
Iaidō - 居合道: Rigid Koshiita / With Koshibera / 1 Seam lines on lannies
Kendō - 剣道: Soft Koshiita / With Koshibera / 1 Seam lines on lannies
(The Koshibera is the plastic tongue sliding into the obi to keep the Koshiita in place during practice.)
