the part you wrap around toes that is base for weavings length is what im not figuring out. Its already been cut but i must be overlooking that part if you can help. Thanks anyone!
@rokkopelli9315 Жыл бұрын
The weft weaving width determines the length of the weave, rather than the part of the weave that wraps around the toe being the base of the length of the weave. This is what I am measuring with my fingers in the video.

Hello, thank you for this video. I have a question, how long could a pair of waraji you make with PP rope last in a sustained use ? Did one of your pairs ever got worn-out ? Thanks a lot, and wish you a good day.
@rokkopelli9315 Жыл бұрын
Thank you for watching the video. If you finish it tight when threading the weft, you can use it about 15 times in a stream climb. If you use it like sandals, you can use it for about 6 months. I will upload a video when I have time, but the improved version will last 3 times longer. I've actually been using them for 3 years for stream climbing and they are still good to go.

According to some sources the word Waraji might actually come from Mexico, the word for "Woven sandals" in the purepecha dialect is Kwarachi and that evolved into the spanish word Huarache, due to the tradings Japan had with Portugal and Spain many words and produce was taken form the Americas to the Asian regions and vice versa (thats why there are chilis in asia alongside potatoes in europe and many other things)

Thank you for watching. Tracing the etymology of the word, it is very interesting to see how it changed and was transmitted along with trade. Many Japanese words were introduced from the Netherlands and Portugal during the Edo period. The original form of waraji was brought to Japan from China around the 8th century. It was a shoe-like footwear made of woven grass and called "wara-gutsu. In Japan, this was around the Nara period (710-794). In the Heian period (794-1185), they were improved so that the thong could be inserted between the toes, and the current " waraji" was born. From "wara-gutsu," the word "wara-uzu," "waran-zu," and then "waran-zi," evolved into "waraji.

I have three questions: 1. How many inches/centimeters longer should the warp be than the foot? 2. Why does the waraji end at your toes? Shouldn't your toes go over the waraji? 3. Should my waraji be narrower than my foot or the same width?
@rokkopelli93152 жыл бұрын
Thank you for watching. I will answer your questions. 1,It is about 5 cm from the heel. 2,As you pointed out, the toes of the waraji worn at traditional Japanese festivals and other events stick out from the waraji. The fingertips can make direct contact with the ground, which makes it easier to apply force when carrying the portable shrine. On the other hand, the warajis shown in this video are designed to be used like sandals. In Japan, sandal-shaped warajis have been used to climb waterfalls and mountain streams since ancient times. The reason for this is to prevent the fingertips from slipping. 3,For the above reasons, narrower ones are better for festivals and wider ones for other uses. In the Edo period, people would prepare many pairs of warajis when traveling because of their poor durability. Perhaps it was more convenient to have small, narrow ones that were easy to make and not bulky.

@rokkopelli93152 жыл бұрын
Thank you for your interest in Waraji. Originally, waraji making was a major side job for farmers during the winter when work was scarce, but in villages close to the highway, sandal making was a popular side job. Waraji were a necessity when traveling, and since they were also consumable, they were replenished at inns. Similarly, there was a demand for bamboo hat and straw coats. Since these items were used by farmers on a daily basis, they did not require any special skills to make. Also, the Edo period was a time of peace. It was a time of little work for the samurai. Although they were paid a stipend by the shogunate, the shogunate could not pay large sums of money to people who did not have much to do. So, the impoverished lower-ranking samurai began to work on the side, making a coarse oilpaper umbrella and waraji in their spare time.
@jdb60262 жыл бұрын
@@rokkopelli9315 whoaaaaa! It was actually that common back in the day? Cool! I think it's a good thing that samurai work slowed down because making umbrellas got more focus! Traditional Japanese paper umbrellas are so cool! They're expensive though, but worth it in my opinion. Also, the wooden Japanese slippers worn by Japanese merchants to the Philippines back during the Spanish Colonial Era inspired the creation of the Philippines' "bakya" - slippers formed out of cotton fruit tree wood.
@rokkopelli93152 жыл бұрын
I did not know that there was an influence of Japanese footwear on Philippine "bakya". Indeed, before the Tokugawa Shogunate closed the country, there was exchange with the Philippines. Probably the sandals with wooden soles are called tsukake(Scuffs) or geta. In Japan, there are various types of footwear, but at that time, the common people mostly wore waraji or zori, while tsukake and geta were considered luxury items. It is romantic to think that history can be traced back to a single piece of footwear. Thank you very much.

Of course, you can wear them barefoot as well as with shoes. In that case, your toes will be protected just like Crocs.
I hope you'll give it a try. However, when you use sandals made of paracord in the river, make sure they are made of polypropylene. Nylon or polyester sandals are slippery and dangerous.
