Want your own personalized geta？Discover the century-old “Tale of Ashima”

A wooden house that has stood for over 150 years, an artisan spending hours seated in seiza on tatami, and the constant sound of clinking tools. This wooden clog shop in Shinagawa, Tokyo, presents a refined Japanese tableau: a bat-shaped umbrella, a pair of sunny-day clogs, and a stroll through Tokyo’s streets with a nostalgic Edo charm.
Most captivating of all is the intimate interaction between the artisan and the customer. Removing their shoes and socks, meeting with honesty, and meticulously adjusting each pair to fit the customer’s foot shape, size, and walking style. These are clogs made uniquely for you, crafted to take you to farther places.

Seeing the shop owner treat each pair of shoes and each pair of feet with such dedication is truly touching. It reflects a deep respect for life itself.
