下駄 (geta) are traditional Japanese wooden sandals that elevate the wearer above the ground. They typically consist of a flat wooden base with two elevated wooden blocks, called "ha," at the front and back. Geta are often worn with traditional clothing, such as 着物 (kimono), and are designed to be comfortable and practical for walking. Geta come in various styles and sizes, often featuring decorative elements like colorful straps made from fabric. They are commonly worn during festivals and special occasions, as well as in everyday life, especially in rural areas. The unique design of geta helps to keep the feet dry in wet conditions, making them a functional choice for many.
