Happi coats enhance group unity (3'32")

The happi coat is believed to have spread about 300 years ago. One of its features is a dynamic design, such as a character or emblem, on the back. You can instantly find fellow members by displaying the emblem that indicates your affiliation. The happi is also expected to have a promotional effect, so it has been popular among carpenters and merchants from ancient times. Even today, happi coats are worn on special occasions such as traditional events and festivals. As an elegant item that fosters camaraderie and strengthens bonds, it remains a cherished piece of attire.
