Sakais

Sakais are a type of traditional Japanese footwear, typically worn by men. They are characterized by their simple design, consisting of a sole made from wood or leather, and a thin, flexible upper made from cotton or silk. Sakais are often worn with traditional Japanese clothing, such as kimonos or hakama, and are known for their comfort and ease of movement. They are also popular among hikers and outdoor enthusiasts due to their durability and ability to withstand rough terrain. Sakais have a long history, dating back to the Edo period, and have evolved over time to incorporate modern materials and designs. Today, they are still widely used in Japan and are also gaining popularity in other countries as a symbol of traditional Japanese culture.
