Hello Karei-san,

Quote:
When the ad hoc meeting room "Tools" was open at FMELLOW (a forum of NiftyServe), Kotoishiyamani-san presented sandals called "Eight-sole sandals".

You found footwear very dear to me. I remember mines were not as good as those of the picture in quality but careless a little in workmanship.

Before the war, pavements of streets in Senba, Osaka were wooden bricks, and the sandals might be suitable for walking on them. Wooden brick pavements are perfect spread of brick-like cut pieces of hard wood soaked with asphalt(?). They seemed good for prevention of noises raised by horse and ox carts with iron rims.

I remember workmen with those sandals walked on such pavements. I then wore high clogs with magnolia wood supports. My house was a merchant and I had never seen anyone who wore the sandals. I am not sure but I remember the sandals raised somewhat curious noises while walking.

DOZE
