What Is a Hanjuban?

A hanjuban is a traditional Japanese half undergarment worn on the upper body. Unlike a full-length nagajuban, the hanjuban is shorter, easier to wear, easier to wash, and more convenient for practical use.

In Japanese dressing, it works as a shitagi, meaning an inner layer worn beneath the main garment. It helps absorb perspiration, protects the outer clothing, and gives a cleaner and more elegant traditional appearance.

This Japanese hanjuban can be worn under a wide range of traditional garments. It is especially useful under kimono, samue, koromo, monk robes, hakama, keikogi and Japanese martial arts uniforms.

For practitioners of Aikido, Iaido, Kenjutsu, Kyudo, Kendo, Karate, Jujutsu, Ninjutsu, Ninpo, Togakure Ryū Ninpō, Bujinkan, Genbukan and Jinenkan, the hanjuban provides a clean traditional layer that improves comfort while helping preserve the outer garment.

Why Wear a Hanjuban?

Because it is shorter than a nagajuban, the hanjuban is especially practical for people who need freedom of movement. It is ideal for martial arts, meditation, temple activities, traditional workwear, tea ceremony, calligraphy, stage performance or casual Japanese daily wear.
