Geta
The Japanese wooden sandal with two teeth that keep the foot above the ground.
Geta are sandals on two wooden blocks that lift the foot above mud and rain. They have been worn in Japan for centuries, often with a kimono.
The sound of geta on paving is a well-known element in descriptions of Japanese streets. Today they are mostly worn at festivals and with summer kimonos.
