Until about 1945, farmers made sandals with straw in winter and used them as their primary footwear. Since then, Japanese culture has changed a lot and people don't use them anymore.

However, traditional Japanese sandals are very comfortable and good for your feet, so why not use them indoors?

You can use any fabric around your house. Let's upcycle your old clothes, kimonos, etc. into a lovely pair of sandals!
