IWATA has been using this fabric for its hakama for over 50 years and has developed a quality adapted to the needs of aikidoka. This hakama is very easy to clean and machine washable, its fabric is very soft and smooth. One can feel the quality of this hakama only by touching it.
All Hakama Iwata Aikido have 7 stitches on their strings, which makes the latter more durable.

The Koshiita is made of a smooth, soft rubber that keeps its shape without causing injury during a fall.
The front string measures 4m, the back string 1,8m.
Various manufacturers of keikogi and hakama have the right to use the mark "AIKIKAI" on their keikogi and hakama as the AIKIKAI Hombu of Tokyo authorizes them to do so. However, the official supplier of the AIKIKAI Hombu has been the company IWATA for more than 100 years.
Length of front Koshihimo (string): standard size 4m, possibility to modify it (4 sizes available).
A modification in the length of the Koshiimo requires the manufacturing of a made-to-measure hakama. The delivery time is thus an additional week.
