[About Kahoku Slippers] It is said that the origin of slipper manufacturing in Kahoku Town is the production of sandals by farmers using the large amount of straw that is a by-product of rice production. Later, as lifestyles changed and footwear demand changed, sandal production gradually shifted to slippers production. The quality, backed by the history and know-how of the local industry, has earned the product high praise nationwide, including for its design. These shoes allow you to experience the traditional craftsmanship of artisans, which has been featured on television as a Japanese technique that should be passed down to future generations.
