ð Graduation Ceremony and Hakama â A Motherâs Honest Thoughts ð
Itâs graduation season!
These days, itâs becoming common for both boys and girls to wear hakama at elementary school graduation ceremonies.
As I was born in the Showa era, I felt …âHakama for elementary school graduation!? What !?”
Back in my day, I wore a handmade dress sewn by my mother at my own graduation ceremony.
Of course, the colorful hakama outfits look beautiful, and the various hairstyles are adorable.
But⊠the preparation, the dressing, the salon appointments⊠It must be a huge burden for parents!
This spring, my own daughter wore a hakama to her graduation,though! ð
âž»
My Honest Feeling: I Want to Save Money !
To be honest, I didn’t 100% agree with wearing a hakama for elementary school graduation.
So, I wanted to keep the costs as low as possible! But at the same time, I also wanted to respect my daughterâs wishes.
Luckily, my daughter (perhaps sensing my feeling?) was totally fine with a hand-me-down hakama!
Plus, she didnât mind if we avoided professional hair styling and dressing servicesâwhat a relief!
As a result⊠we spent almost nothing! ð
ð° Breakdown of Our Graduation Hakama Costs
â
Hakama â Gifted by a friend! (Passed down from past captains of her sports teamâfull of sentimental value! â€ïž)
â
Hair accessories & boots â from my own Coming-of-Age Ceremony!
â
Hairstyling â Done by Mindy, referring YouTube tutorials!
â
Dressing â Done by Mindyâs Mom !
In the end, our total spending was practically zero! ð
âž»
How Did Other Moms Handle It?
I asked some moms, and everyone had different strategies:
ð Some got free hakama rentals from the uniform shop where they ordered junior high school uniforms.
ðª Some moms did everything themselvesâhair, dressing, the whole package!
ðââïž Salon reservations had to be made a year in advance! â Local salons were fully booked almost immediately.
ð± One mom told me they started hairstyling and dressing at 4 AMâŠ!!
Hearing all this, I feel,
âWait, isnât this just an elementary school graduation!? Such a Coming-of-Age ceremony, isn’t it? â ð
âž»
Whatâs the Ideal Attire for Graduation?
Personally, I thinkâŠ
ð Middle school uniforms or a simple suit would be fine!
Technically, thereâs no dress codeâitâs supposed to be a free choice.
I think, social pressure and the âeveryone else is doing itâ mentality are a huge for us.
And so, 98% of the girls at my daughterâs school ended up wearing a hakama.
âž»
ð The Hakama from a Financial Literacy Perspective
â
Is this expense really necessary? â Donât just follow the societyâmake decisions based on your own values.
â
Rent, buy, or borrow? â Choose the smartest option for your situation.
â
Develop cost-conscious thinking early! â Celebrations donât have to mean expensive spending.
Money is something you should spend according to your own values, not social pressure.
So in that sense, the elementary school hakama debate is actually a great opportunity to think about financial literacy!
âž»
ðž Conclusion: To Wear a Hakama or Not? Itâs Up to You!
â Donât just follow the societyâmake decisions based on your own values.!
â Being smart with money is the first step to financial literacy!
â That said⊠if my daughter was happy, then maybe that was the most valuable thing of all.
So, what would you do?
Would you consider a graduation hakama a necessary expense? Or⊠something else? ðð
