我哋想要人民知道真正嘅塌塌米拖鞋 | 平和拖鞋

我哋而家又開始接受有限量生產嘅塌塌米拖鞋預訂。 呢啲拖鞋採用咗好多簡單嘅廣島日本牛仔布料製作。 當然,塌塌米嘅部分都係喺日本用嘅真正嘅伊草(種塌塌米嘅一種植物)製作。 而家,我哋都會用咗伊草嘅最珍貴嘅一部分——即係耳朵嘅尖端。 所以,呢啲塌塌米拖鞋係高品質嘅產品,比起一般傳統同真正嘅日本塌塌米有更細緻嘅網眼,摸上去更加美觀。 因為生產量有限,我哋唔能夠生產太多嘅塌塌米拖鞋。 同時,生產期亦有限,所以某啲時間可能會無夠貨。 我哋希望全世界嘅人都可以發現日本室內鞋履文化嘅魅力。

How did the slipper become so common in Japan? | What is Heiwa Slipper?

What is Heiwa Slipper?

In the beginning, Japanese slippers

Thank you for visiting our website. We are an online slipper store located in Japan and very excited to introduce you our various collections of the slippers.

But first, let me explain what we call “slipper” in Japan. Most of the time, in Western countries, “slipper” means “a semi-closed type of shoe, consisting of a sole held to the wearer’s foot by a strap running over (or between) the toes or instep (Reference: Wikipedia)”. They are wearable shoes for outside, most of the time, and sometimes inside as well for comfort. On the other hand, 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?

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.

 

Our theme is “Return of Japanese Slippers”

Ever since then, slipper has become common/daily use item all over Japan. However, unfortunately, we barely find slippers made in Japan these days. A lot of them are industrially mass-produced in other countries at lower wages, and sold at a cheap price here. Our theme is “Return of Japanese Slippers”.

We believe slipper can be a bridge to the peace (= “Heiwa”)

Here, we will introduce slippers made with the spirits of Japanese hospitality. We would like to also introduce some slippers made in other countries, in which we try our best to achieve the fair-trade upon importing them. “Benefits for all three sides, for the customer, society, and the vendor” is what we are aiming for.

We believe slipper can be a bridge to the peace (= “Heiwa”).
