Japanese Buddhist Byakue White Temple Robe – 100% Cotton Kōbai – Made in Japan
$149.00 USD Special Price: $139.00 USD
Experience authentic Japanese Buddhist temple wear with this men's Byakue white temple robe, traditionally designed for Buddhist practice, religious ceremonies, meditation, pilgrimage and wear beneath a Koromo Buddhist robe.
Made in Japan from 100% natural cotton, this summer Byakue features a traditional Kōbai weave – a lightly textured Japanese fabric designed to reduce direct contact between the cloth and the skin, helping provide a cooler and more comfortable feel during warm weather.
Known in Japanese as 白衣 (Byakue / Hakue), this white temple garment is traditionally associated with Buddhist religious attire and is particularly suitable for practitioners seeking genuine Japanese-made Buddhist clothing.
Authentic Japanese Buddhist Byakue – Made in Japan
This Byakue is manufactured in Japan and follows traditional Japanese temple-garment proportions. Its simple white appearance makes it suitable for Buddhist practice while maintaining the refined, understated aesthetic associated with Japanese religious clothing.
It may be worn independently according to the practitioner's tradition or as an inner white robe beneath outer Buddhist garments such as a Koromo or other temple vestments.
100% Cotton Kōbai Weave for Summer Comfort
The robe is made from 100% cotton Kōbai fabric. Kōbai is characterized by a subtle raised grid-like texture that helps create small spaces between the fabric and the skin. This construction is traditionally appreciated in Japanese summer clothing because it can reduce the sensation of fabric sticking to perspiring skin and provide a fresher wearing experience.
The natural cotton surface also offers a softer and more traditional feel than many synthetic temple garments. Because this is genuine 100% cotton, some wrinkling after washing is natural and should be expected.
Ideal for Buddhist Temple Practice and Wear Under Koromo
- Japanese Buddhist temple practice
- Meditation and spiritual training
- Sutra chanting and religious observances
- Buddhist ceremonies and formal practice
- Wearing beneath a Koromo or other Buddhist outer robe
- Pilgrimage and traditional religious practice
- Warm-weather and summer temple use
Buddhist vestment traditions vary by school, temple and lineage. Practitioners should follow the guidance of their teacher or temple regarding the correct combination of Byakue, Juban, Koromo and Kesa.

How to Care for a 100% Cotton Byakue
Natural 100% cotton garments may wrinkle after washing. This is a normal characteristic of cotton and not a manufacturing defect.
For best results, we recommend gentle washing, removing the garment promptly after the wash cycle, reshaping it while damp and allowing it to dry naturally on a hanger. Light ironing may be used when required.
Why Choose This Japanese Byakue?
This robe combines three important qualities sought by serious practitioners: authentic Japanese manufacture, natural 100% cotton and a traditional summer Kōbai weave.
It is an excellent choice for those seeking genuine Japanese Buddhist temple clothing rather than generic costume-style robes or mass-produced synthetic alternatives.

Let customers speak for us
Excellent experience with this e-shop which I do recommend for their really nice selection and for their precious advice.
The Tabi boots I get are exactly how I expected them.
As an US 10 the 28 is perfect.
Japanese traditional style to walk through the streets of the world
My haori arrived in a timely manner and was everything I expected it to be and more. The quality of the haori is fantastic, and it fits great!
This pair of shoes is really very comfortable, and the craftsmanship is excellent. It's exactly what I expected. The only problem is that I ordered a pair half a centimeter larger than my usual size, and even so, they're so tight that I can't even wear socks (tabis)!
I loved them, very beautiful and perfect fit if you follow the measure instructions. Looking forward for some outdoors bujinkan training in the spirng!
I wish they would come in 12 version as well
Thank you very much
Just like described, fast shipment. Nothing to complain about :)
The Samue suit is very beautiful crafted - the fabric is soft and very pleasant to wear. A high quality clothing that exudes a genuine Japanese feeling attention to detail. . The tabi shoes clearly high quality. I am very happy.
Super cozy!
out est parfait. Merci
heads raised to the heavens, i am not worthy of the energy without thy consent.
Comfortable and visually stunning
Just the right size.
As this belt was a replacement for my original black belt from 2003, I am very pleased to say that it has the same feel and quality of my previous belt. I teach karate 5 days a week, so I need a belt that stands the test of time. I am positive that this is it!
Confortable et parfsit pour ma taille de pied. C’est super a porter a l’interieur :)
An amazing Gi. More like a samurai robe. Where the tk-10 is stone this is water, not flimsy but heavy but flows like a powerful river. Amazing quality.
I ordered this product as a replacement for a cheap Chinese samue that lasted roughly 3 weeks. This one is on another level. I am 182 cm and 83 kg and the 2L fits me nicely. Although based on the leg length a L would have also worked. The cloth has a nice thickness and texture to it. International shipping was fast. Would definitely recommend...it would also be really nice if this shop would have an European reseller, preferably in Germany ;)
