Hi folks,

I am going to have some embroidery done to my hakama and I have some related questions. Should I use (a) my first name, (b) my family name, or (c) both? In Katakana or Kanji?

There is no convention in my home dojo. Most people I know use their first names, others are using both names. In my case, there is nice kanji for my family name: kuroi (black). My current preferred option is to use both names techmantion, my family name as a kanji followed by my first name in katakana Is this a common choice?

Thank's for any hints,

Hello,
It depends on your purposes of embroidery.
If you want to decorate for your hakama, you can embroidery whatever you want even a picture.
In case, you want to embroidery to make your hakama similarly to a Japanese, I suggest to embroidery in format <Family name> <Middle Name><First name>.
