These Japanese Sandals are handmade one by one by craftsmen.
The form of Japanese Sandals worn by the actors in the Kabuki play Sukeroku.
In the 1950s, more than 90% of households in Japan had Japanese sandals, which were not only worn with summer yukata but were also the most common everyday footwear.
Please handle Japanese sandals with care as they are lightweight and easily scratched.
Be careful when handling them, as they can be scratched if your nails come into contact with them.
Japanese sandals are sensitive to moisture and water. If they get wet, please dry them in the shade, and gently soften the straps by hand.
Even if the sponge rubber sole wears out and the wooden base becomes worn, you can continue wearing them as long as walking is not affected. Unfortunately, we are unable to replace the sponge rubber.
The protective metal fittings on the underside of the sandals (which temporarily protect the area securing the straps) are temporary. Even if they come off, you may continue wearing the sandals without issue.
About the straps:
They are sensitive to water, which may cause color fading or damage.
About lacquered sandals:
The lacquer may chip if subjected to impact.
Color fading or peeling may occur due to changes in temperature and humidity.
