Absolute lightweight is the feature of this hakama. #6000 material was not common to be used in the past.
Kendoka may know the reason, but hakama was expected to have high durability in an intense practices; and yet, maintain its beautiful appearance. Therefore, it was common to use #8000 or #10000 hakama. However, those hakamas give you disadvantage in a match with long encho or during a grading exam which one mistake can change the result.
Appearance is still indigo dyed cotton hakama, but much lighter. You can feel the difference from the first fumikomi.

圧倒的な軽さが特徴の袴です。これまで#6000という生地は一般的に袴には使われておりませんでした。
剣道家の方ならその理由もご存じかもしれません。袴は見た目の美しさと激しい稽古に耐える高い耐久性が求められます。そのため糸本数の多い#8000,#10000などを使用するのが一般的でした。
しかし、延長を繰り返す長時間の試合、一瞬のミスが命取りになる昇段試験。そんな場面ではこれらの袴は不利になります。
見た目は藍染の綿袴。しかし圧倒的に軽い。1歩目の踏込で大きな違いを感じることでしょう。
