Japanese Traditional Footwear Straw Sandals
These are Japanese vintage woven straw sandals called warazori/waraji. These sandals are crafted from weaving dried rice straw into a simple oval shape. Some include other materials such as cloth, leather, or lacquered wood.

This pair is mostly straw with a simple white linen fabric around the thong. These are likely made the be worn with casual kimono or yukata, but can also serve as a unique decorative element to any design.
