The happi (or hapi/happi coat) is a type of Japanese coat similar to the haori which first appeared in the Edo period.
Difference between Haori and Happi
During the Edo period, while the haori was exclusively worn by the chōnin (Japanese upper-class), the happi was regarded as a worker's or artisan's jacket, and was worn as a uniform by firefighters and house servants, with a mon (emblem/crest) on the back to indicate the family or organization they belonged to.
In modern Japan, the happi is usually only worn at festivals.
