Turtles are essential to auspicious patterns. With a spiral pattern said to symbolize longevity and vitality, the sight of them floating as if carried by the river's current adds a playful touch to the chic black and white design.
【What are Edo Komon Geta?】
These modern Japanese geta feature Edo Komon patterns from Tomita Senkogei, a company that has preserved traditional Edo techniques since its founding in 1882 while also embracing new styles. By applying these patterns to synthetic leather, a beautiful three-dimensional design emerges, allowing the charm of traditional patterns to be seen more vividly. A glossy black lacquered base is used to enhance the beauty of the thongs.

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's the most popular series, offering comfort even for those not used to heels and a sandal-like silhouette that pairs well with Western clothes.
The shape of the toe part, in particular, makes it easy to grip the thong.
Point 2: Toe thong
Contains cushioning material for a soft feel against the foot. Designed to prevent thong friction.
Point 3: Thong mechanism
Contains cushioning material for a soft feel against the foot. The wide width gently envelops the foot. Designed to fit the average Japanese foot shape.
Point 4: Shape of the wooden base (arch)
The arch shape at the instep provides a comfortable fit.
Point 5: Wooden base material
Highly durable, with rich wood grain that develops character as you walk. Uses mahogany and sapele.

Uses synthetic rubber. Can be easily repaired at your local shoe repair shop. We recommend replacing it regularly before the wood wears down.
*It is recommended to wear them gradually at first to get used to them, making them more comfortable to wear.
Wearing toe socks or half socks is also recommended.
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.
