Tsugaru-nuri Nanako-nuri Two-Tined Koma Geta
These geta (wooden clogs) were passed down to me from my grandmother.
They are koma-geta, a typical style with two teeth.
I heard that the narrow, stylish koma-geta worn by geisha in the Hanamachi Yoshicho district were also called Yoshicho-geta. These are not that narrow, so I believe they are koma-geta.
I have not used them, but they show signs of wear and have scratches. The frequency of use is unknown.
You might worry that they are difficult to walk in, but it is said that the two teeth help maintain the correct center of gravity, making them surprisingly easy to wear.
This is something I heard from seniors who are knowledgeable about Japanese clothing, and I have not worn them myself...
These are rare and stylish geta.
- Material: Wooden, Tsugaru lacquer, Nanako lacquer
- Hanao (strap): Red velvet
- Maetsubo (front stopper): Red velvet
- Size:
- Top (Ten) = Approx. 23cm
- Maximum width = 8cm
- Height = Approx. 5.8cm
*I have not used them, but the frequency of use is unknown.
*There are scratches and other signs of wear.
*Aged item.
*For those who understand.
How to wear geta and zori:
Some say it's stylish to have your heels sticking out 2-3cm from the base.
I don't personally prefer that much overhang, but the geta teeth are positioned slightly behind the center, so it's said that having your heels stick out a bit makes it easier to balance and walk.
Thank you for looking.
