Unworn 天狗 心斎橋 Tengu Shinsaibashi Zori This lovely pair of vintage zori were made by Osaka’s iconic Tengu Hakimono of Shinsaibashi. They have been stored for a very long time but are in near-perfect, never-worn condition in their original box and packaging (which includes a pack of spare parts for repairs to the heel). Note that there is a slight depression on the top heel of one zori where the tube of cleaner had been pressed in the box - it is of not serious and may come out just from wearing them. They are an elegant cream with red and orange accents and all-leather tops and soles. Superior quality, size: 23cm Tengu was founded 1894 (Meiji 27) in Shinsaibashi, Osaka and was one of Japan’s finest footwear makers, producing beautifully designed, Japanese made zori and geta for generations. Sadly they lost out to competition from overseas manufacturing and closed their doors forever in 2011 after 117 years in business. 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 and even optimal… Made in Japan Shipping Note: If two types of shipping are offered for this item:1) EMS: (Includes tracking & Insurance) and is fast and dependable.2) Standard Air: (Includes tracking) but has a less predictable delivery time. •Note that we are happy to combine postage on multiple items to save you money on shipping: just ask! •We are not responsible for any customs duties or import taxes your country may charge - please check on this with your post office.•Returns are opened in the presence of Postal Authorities to assure the original item is enclosed.
