“...Wearing and folding Hakama are not difficult; the difficulty lies in the patience and respect of the practitioner. The way you treat Hakama shows your own personality, not only in the dojo but also in life. If one squashes, folds Hakama without care or hangs them, those seven pleats will gradually disappear. And certainly, no one would want their own ‘seven pleats’ to be wrinkled and lost. After every session, practitioners can spend five minutes to straighten and fold carefully the gi. It’s not just the proper way to treat your clothing, but also a chance to reflect on yourself and the virtues needed in your life…”
