The heritage of Hakama:
With a deep-rooted cultural heritage, Hakama pants were traditionally worn by samurai, the wide legs affording great freedom of movement on horseback and in training. Over time, the garment moved beyond the battlefield into martial arts and ceremonial dress, where it remains a symbol of discipline and respect. MUJI ushers this historical style into the modern era with a versatile wide-leg pant designed for everyday wear.
Two ways to wear Hakama
The Hakama has been reimagined two ways. For a closer nod to tradition, the women’s pant features pleats and a generous, flowing leg. For a lighter, contemporary feel, the men’s pant keeps the wide-leg ease in a streamlined cut with a lighter flowing fabric. Whichever you choose, you get the same freedom of movement that made the Hakama Pant so practical.
