【草鞋(わらじ)の作り方 １】HOW TO MAKE "WARAJI .Ver.1" PPロープで作る沢用わらじ＜地下足袋用＞ **English subtitles**

PPロープで沢用のわらじを作ってみました。地下足袋にわらじをセットして使用します。
I tried to make WARAJI for river trek with PP rope.Waraji is used with a tabi.
使用した感じはヌメでのフリクションはいい感じで、コケもわらじがたわしの役目をしてそぎ落としてくれ、フリクションが効くようです。使用前には、15分ほど地道を歩いて一皮むいて下さい。
It grips well on slippery and wet rocks.You need a 15-minute walk aging before using it on slippery and wet rocks.
動画のなかで、換気扇のバックノイズがあるので、耳障りな方は音量を絞って下さい。わらじに関して、素人の我流なので精度はご容赦ください。
動画中の身体尺は同身寸法とも呼ばれ、体格の大小にかかわらず寸法の目安にするために用いられています。

Just made a pair of waraji last night out of clothesline rope! They turned out great and are super comfortable

Thank you for watching the video. If you use materials such as natural vines or hemp rope, you can enjoy a different kind of comfort.

最初の結び目を作らずに、直接緯糸に結ぶ事で指の間の痛みを軽減できます。 Tying a knot directly to the weft without making the first knot reduces the pain between the fingers. [tips] rokkopelli.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/knot.png

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]

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.

[@toritotori]

@@rokkopelli9315 Hello, thank you for your reply ! At first I was afraid it would only last a bit longer than original waraji, but I was really impressed with your answer !

[@thomasthom7070]

so for a pair of waraji i need approximately 45m of 5mm pp rope?

[@rokkopelli9315]

Thank you for watching my video, I hope you enjoyed it. The warp should be 2.5 times your height and the weft 10 times your height. The length of your arms outstretched and your height are almost the same length.

[@bobabuoy4409]

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]

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.

[@Valtyrion]

@@rokkopelli9315 is this for both waraji or just one?

[@rokkopelli9315]

Sorry for lack of explanation. Description for one foot.

[@jdb6026]

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?

[@rokkopelli9315]

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.

[@jdb6026]

@@rokkopelli9315 Whoa! Thank you so so so so much! I actually really enjoyed reading your replies. There isn't much about the waraji online (at least in English), so I appreciate learning about its history and why it is the way it it. Thank you very much! ❤️

[@rokkopelli9315]

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.

[@jdb6026]

@@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.

[@rokkopelli9315]

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.

[@rokkopelli9315]

ご覧いただき、ありがとうございます。 編み始めのコツは、左手で１０本くらいまではＰＰロープがギュギュっと鳴くくらい、かなり手前に引き締めながら作業を進めます（力を入れている様子は動画（4:16～5:30）辺りをご覧いただくと分かります）。その際は、指先ではなく指の根元（手のひらに近い方）に経糸を掛けるとより丸く仕上がります。 力を入れるのが辛いようでしたら、つま先を編むときだけ足先を30～40ｃｍほど開くと経糸も扇形に開くので、それほど力を入れなくても丸く編み上がります。 しっかりとしたワラジを編み上げるには、緯糸をいかに密にするかで決まりますので頑張って下さい(^^)

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)

[@rokkopelli9315]

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.

@@rokkopelli9315 so it would be a case like León in spain, in that time no one had any recod of seing an actual Lion but the word originated from other sources. Curious how different cultures arrive at the same conclution in diferent periods of time and completely different parts of the map
