Japanese vintage Traditional Sandal ROJI Zori Waraji Made of straw For Tea ceremony kimono or slippers 9.4in/24cm

These are called Waraji sandals or zori.
They are all handmade by craftsmen.
They can be used as indoor slippers or roji zori.
Sen no Rikyu (1522-1591) connected the dewdrops with the world of Buddhism.
It is said that the name was derived from the meaning that if one enters here, one can discard one's hundred thousand delusions and expose one's Buddhist mind.
It is said that by entering the dewdrops, one walks while purifying and discarding the dust of this world.
These slippers are worn before entering the tea room from the koshikake-waiting area or before passing through the dew ground in the tea garden, and are required for all tea ceremonies if there is a tea garden.
Originally, they do not come in many sizes and are often worn with the feet out.
