Vintage Kiri Wood Geta Sandals With Removable Rain Protectors Size 23: Oct18A

Description

These lovely geta are of superior quality and are made of paulownia kiri wood, lacquered in a deep, glossy black.
They are in perfect, unworn condition in their original box. The straps are sound and in perfect condition.
They measure about 9” or 23cm long and are about 2” or 5cm high. They have matching removable shibori rain protectors which fit on with an elastic strap - these are meant to keep your tabi socks clean and dry on rainy days. These would be perfect for rainy summer days with a yukata...
Note… the size of footwear in Japan is considered largely irrelelant as traditionally there was only one mens size and one womans size and you adjust your foot to the sandal rather than the sandal to your foot; so overhanging the heel by an inch or so is considered normal…
Made in Japan
This is one of a huge lot of ‘vintage' Japanese items that we have
acquired. They were stock from a shop in Kyoto that sold kimono accessories… Most were produced in the 1980’s but some are newer.
Some are unused, like new or have stains or other damage so
examine
the photos carefully before purchasing to determine the exact condition of this particular item and it
’s
value to you.

IMPORTANT: 2020 PANDEMIC SHIPPING NOTE
Note that due to reduced flights, JAPAN POST has suspended Air Parcel service to the USA, Australia and a few other countries (Europe is not effected). It is not known how long this will last but in the meantime, we are using JAPAN POST SURFACE mail which has tracking and insurance but can take about 60 days to the USA.
Alternatively, for an additional charge, YAMATO INTERNATIONAL offers extremely fast door to door service for a flat-rate for their various size boxes. The smallest “60cm” box is to most countries, can hold up to two kg and measures 27 X 19 X 19cm and arrives in about a week.
Note that as these measures are temporary, we can not change the existing rates for all of our hundreds of listings but will notify you immediately if it effects your purchase.
