I love the thumbnail. I’m like “Why is it on Fire?!”

[@lisascenic]

The meticulous work of this family of artisans is so admirable! (And, as someone who works in a fabrication studio, I am *very* impressed by their dust-collection system.) Much respect from California

It's wise that Japan keeps these young men busy with their 'craftsmanship' , even the father in the beginning who is using more blowtorch fuel to heat up the air around his knee than moving production along. With all that extra special craftsmanship, they don't have time to run around the streets and make trouble. Wise.

Una humilde sugerencia de mi parte: No vi en ningunas de las Getas fabricadas que le colocaran TATAMI como plantilla para los pies, creo que ese detalle resaltaría en comodidad para el usuario y las harían aun más cómodas, pienso que la fibra del TATAMI debería colocarse a lo largo de la geta y no de manera transversal, felicitaciones para la familia Motono

Wow, that's really cool. Always loved how geta looked, but due to Japanese having dainty feet, doesn't work out for those of us with much larger sized feet, unless we wanna figure out how to make them ourselves.

[@lindsaythompson726]

Is there only one size ?

[@thezaftigwendy]

Why do they burn the bottom?

[@VixxiaTwylin]

Burning the bottom hardens the wood, makes it more resistant to moisture and makes it very difficult for rot and fungus to thrive. You see the same process used for solid wood tool handles as well as many outdoor wood furniture. It's a very lasting way to protect and strengthen wood without relying on stain or varnish Edit: if you're able to, turn on the captions. They explain that in this case the bottom burning is to get rid of splinters and frays from the carving without having to hand sand it, since it's not the right shape to use a machine.

lovely but with the shape of my feet i cannot do thongs

[@Serghey_83]

А металлические набойки (подковы) не прибивали? Им сносу не будет 😂😂😂👍👍👍

Very Nice! A question to you. Are their different sizes for the Geta? for children, youth to age 15 years and then young adult ages 18 through 25 years. How to market your artisan creation of foot ware to the modern people of the 21st century I feel that is your challenge... Good luck and most beautiful cultural Geta..
