A collaboration geta sandal between mizutori and "Bingata Studio Moribin," which expresses a vibrant world as if it has captured the refreshing breezes and dazzling sunlight of Okinawa.
Spreading vividly across the entire thongs on both sides is a scene depicting a shikwasa field awakening, where the morning sun gently shines and the sweet fragrance of white flowers fills the air. It beautifully captures the refreshing morning atmosphere of Okinawa itself.
Upon closer inspection of the fresh and vibrant shikwasa fruits and leaves, you might occasionally spot creatures like the Okinawa rail and goats, subtly hinting at Okinawa's rich nature.
The unique colors and modern design of Bingata will bring you an exciting summer moment, as if you are walking with art adorning your feet!

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.
