The innovative form of these geta was born from the idea that "it would be surprising to have geta that are like lacquered jewelry."
Geta and maki-e are both traditional Japanese cultures. Combining them has led to "GETA that evolve."
The design of the tenban (upper surface) is divided into sections with gold leaf, and then layers of vibrant colors like blue and green, mixed with titanium powder, are applied.
Similarly, the genuine leather thongs are gradually colored with blue and green, mixed with titanium powder, applied with a brush to create a gradient.
This pair showcases the craftsmanship of lacquered maki-e techniques.
Enjoy them as if they were a piece of jewelry.

mizutori original《hitete 6.5》
The "hitete" series is popular for being easy to walk in and making your feet look beautiful.
With a heel height of approximately 6.5cm, it is the most popular series, offering comfort even for those who are not accustomed to heels, and a silhouette that can be easily matched with Western clothes, like sandals.
The shape of the toe area, in particular, makes it easy to grip the thong tightly.
Point 2: Toe strap
Contains cushioning material for a soft feel against the foot. Designed to prevent thong chafing.
Point 3: Thong mechanism
Contains cushioning material for a soft feel against the foot. The wide width gently cradles the foot. Shaped to fit the average Japanese foot type.
Point 4: Shape of the wooden base (arch)
The arch shape in the instep area provides a comfortable fit.
Point 5: Wooden material
Excellent durability, rich wood grain expression, and develops character with every step. Made from mahogany and sapele.
Point 6: Outsole (sole)
Uses synthetic rubber. Can be easily repaired at your local shoe repair shop. We recommend frequent replacement before the wood wears down.
*Initially, gradually breaking them in will help them conform to your feet and become more comfortable to wear.
We also recommend using tabi socks or half socks.

This is a guide on how to care for geta and sandals.
1. Caring for the Wooden Base and Top Plate
Wiping:
Wipe away dirt with a soft cloth lightly dampened with lukewarm water.
Detergent:
In some cases, you may wipe the surface with a diluted neutral detergent.
2. Care for the Strap
Cleaning Method:
Remove dirt with a soft brush (like a toothbrush), then wipe with a soft cloth lightly dampened with lukewarm water.
Note:
Depending on the fabric, dye may bleed, so please test on an inconspicuous area first.
Please note that soaking the strap in water will cause it to harden.
Prevention:
We recommend lightly applying a waterproof spray before use. When doing so, be careful not to spray the wooden base.
3. Rubber Sole Maintenance
When to Replace:
To prolong the life of your geta, we recommend replacing the rubber soles frequently before the wooden base wears down.
Repairs:
You can have them replaced at a local shoe repair shop. If the wear extends past the rubber and reaches the wooden base, please consult the retailer.
4. Repairing Chipped Paint
For Black:
You can touch up the area with black nail polish or a black marker to make it less noticeable.
For Dark Brown:
You can touch up the area with a wood-staining pen. Please choose a color similar to the base.
Other:
Please contact us if the chipped area is large.
5. Care for Genuine Leather Uppers
Follow the same care instructions as for general leather shoes.
Removing Dirt:
Remove dirt with a soft brush (like a toothbrush), then wipe with a soft cloth dampened with shoe cleaner.
Moisturizing and Polishing:
Apply shoe cream to a soft cloth, work it in, then brush and polish to finish.
Note:
Please be aware that discoloration may occur depending on the color of the genuine leather and the cream.
