Japan Cobbler Shoe Maker Making Geta Sandals Craftsman Work Vtg. Photo 19thC.
This quality reprint of a vintage photo shows a Japanese craftsman sits on the ground outside his workshop, using a hammer to fashion traditional wooden sandals known as geta. Several finished pairs are displayed nearby. Geta have been a common form of footwear in Japan for centuries, worn with traditional clothing like the kimono. Their elevated wooden base was designed to keep the wearer's feet and clothing clean from dirt on the streets of the era.
