The beautiful pattern, expressed using Arimatsu Shibori techniques such as Miura Shibori and Ohmoushi Shibori, resembles overlapping ice crystals, creating a captivating design. It evokes a refreshing coolness, perfect for the early summer sun. The contrast between deep indigo and the clear white and light blue elegantly adorns your feet in summer.
【What is Arimatsu Shibori?】During the Edo period, it gained explosive popularity as a souvenir for travelers on the Tokaido road and was even depicted in Ukiyo-e by Katsushika Hokusai, making it one of Japan's leading dyeing techniques.

With a heel height of approximately 6.5cm, it's the most popular series, offering a comfortable fit even for those who usually avoid heels, making the height unnoticeable, and its silhouette pairs well with Western clothes, feeling like sandals.
The shape of the toe area, in particular, makes it easy to grip the thong tightly.

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.
