Denim Hiroshima Slippers Simple 4 size [Small / Medium / Large / XL]
In Japan, when we say “slipper”, we think flat, in-house footwear item, and that is the kind we would like to spread to the world.
As you may know, it is our common practice to take our shoes off when we go in the house to keep the floor clean. Then why do we wear slippers in the house? How did the slipper become so common in Japan?
It is said that the origin of slipper firstly appeared in Japan in the beginning of Meiji era (1968-1912), which was the time Japan was opening its country to the world and having more people visited from outside, especially from Western countries. However, those visitors of course walked straight into the houses or hotel rooms without taking their shoes off. Japanese people worried that the floor would eventually get dirty and the tatami would be damaged. Slipper was devised to deal with those problems and to welcome people who came from different cultural background.
Ever since then, slipper has become common/daily use item all over Japan. However, unfortunately, we barely find slippers made in Japan these days. Our theme is “Return of Japanese Slippers”.
Here, we will introduce slippers made with the spirits of Japanese hospitality.
We believe slipper can be a bridge to the peace (= “Heiwa”).
