EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative image from the late 19th century, a Japanese man stands before a humble shop filled with the intricately crafted wooden footwear known as geta. The shop, nestled in a quiet corner of a bustling Japanese marketplace, is a testament to the rich history and enduring tradition of geta-making in Japan. Geta are a type of clog that have been worn in Japan for over a thousand years. Originally made from rice straw sandals, they evolved over time to include more durable materials such as wood and bamboo. The wooden versions, like the ones displayed in the shop, became particularly popular during the Edo period (1603-1868), when they were worn not only as everyday footwear but also as status symbols. The man in the photograph, with his serious expression and attentive posture, exudes a sense of pride and dedication to his craft. He wears a traditional Japanese robe and a wide-brimmed straw hat, shielding himself from the sun as he carefully arranges the geta in his shop. The wooden clogs are displayed on low shelves, their simple yet elegant designs showcasing the skill and artistry of the craftsman. The scene is further brought to life by the vibrant colors and textures of the surrounding marketplace. The rich hues of the produce stalls, the rustic textures of the wooden carts, and the lively chatter of the shoppers create a bustling atmosphere that underscores the importance of geta in Japanese daily life. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when geta were an integral part of Japanese culture and tradition. It is a reminder of the beauty and craftsmanship that can be found in the most ordinary objects, and the enduring power of tradition to connect us to our history.
