VTG Cream Japanese Zori with Rain Covers Kimono Kitsuke Size 23cm: Apr19-D

In original box Folding Rain Covers in Pouch This is a lovely pair of Japanese zori for use when wearing kimono. They are in lightly worn condition with a lovely antique look with a few minor age-related spots. The bottoms are leather but I am not sure of the tops however they seem to be of fine quality. They are a lovely vintage cream color with gold and accents and come in their original box with a set of rain covers. Size: 23cm Note… the size of footwear in Japan is considered largely irrelevant as traditionally there was only one mens size and one womens 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.
