But have you ever wondered why hakama are associated with graduation?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"693\" data-end=\"1282\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDuring the Meiji and Taishō eras, hakama served as the standard school uniform for female students. Although the hakama-clad schoolgirl has become an enduring symbol of the period, its acceptance was far from straightforward. When first introduced alongside Japan's modern education system, the masculine appearance of women wearing hakama drew harsh criticism, with some calling it \"unsightly\" or even \"a national disgrace.\" It was only after the development of the skirt-like women's hakama, designed without the traditional divided legs, that the style gained widespread acceptance.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1284\" data-end=\"1769\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhile hakama are now closely associated with female students, they originally evolved from the attire worn by female court attendants in the Imperial Court. They were later adopted by teachers, factory workers, doctors, office workers, telephone operators, and many other professional women. In fact, hakama were worn as practical workwear for women far longer than they served as student uniforms, highlighting their role as functional, active, and relatively gender-neutral clothing.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1771\" data-end=\"2194\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWomen's hakama were commonly worn as school uniforms only for a brief period, from the late Meiji era through the early Shōwa period.
