This haori is often used in the practice of iaido, which is a Japanese martial art centered on the practice of katana (Japanese sword) cutting techniques. In the context of iaido, the haori is worn for both practical and symbolic reasons.

On a practical level, the haori can help create separation between the sleeves and the body, allowing for greater freedom of movement when performing cutting techniques. The haori is also used to cover the katana when worn on the belt, preventing the katana from getting caught in the sleeves during practice.

Symbolically, the haori is considered a traditional Japanese garment that represents Japanese culture and history. Wearing the haori in iaido practice is therefore a way of maintaining a connection with Japanese traditions and culture, and showing respect for them.

In summary, the haori is used in the practice of iaido for both practical and symbolic reasons, and it is considered an important part of the traditional attire of practitioners of this Japanese martial art.
