Light and soft clogs “SAIUN” that you can change your thongs yourself

2021.04.26

From Nara’s long-established footwear maker “Nara Geta-ya”, a new product that realizes a fit like a made-to-order product has appeared. Crowdfunding pre-sale has started for sandals that are soft and fit your feet and do not hurt your hanao even if you walk for a long time.

SAIUN uses EVA resin material, which is a characteristic of Nara Shidaya. Because it is light, it does not hurt your feet even if you wear it for a long time and move, and it is durable and long-lasting.

Not only that, but a major feature is that the thong can be replaced.
By combining the color variations of the thong and the body, it is possible to make about 48 different arrangements.

Since the thong can be easily removed and replaced, you can change it according to the mood of the day.
Not only is it easy to wear and walk, but you can arrange it as you wish.

Nara Prefecture is originally a region where traditional crafts including sandals are popular.
However, the chances of wearing sandals as regular footwear have decreased dramatically.

Therefore, Ippai Co., Ltd. has made a major update to products with design and durability that can be worn everyday, using traditional crafts such as sandals and the original EVA processing technology.

Then, Ippei Co., Ltd. (Hajime), which operates a geta shop, started its business centering on EVA such as shoe soles. We have made full use of technology to create toys for children.

By using its high technology, it is durable and does not hurt your feet even if you use it for a long time. By using the colors of EVA, we have developed a range of designs that can be used not only in kimono but also in various scenes.

Thorough commitment to quality

We use our unique technology to prevent hydrolysis and make it last longer. In addition, the disadvantage of geta is that the base of the finger hurts if you are not accustomed to it. It is designed so that it does not cause pain.

Rebranding

Geta-ya will rebrand at the same time as this new product. We will also renew the homepage, including geta, and make a major update. Now that the tourism industry has stopped significantly, we will continue to develop products so that geta shops can liven up Nara as a whole.

[Hoshinoya Tokyo] “New Year’s Kabuki Stay” brings the hospitality of an Edo Period theatrical teahouse to the present day.

Hoshinoya Tokyo, a Japanese-style inn located in Otemachi, Tokyo, will again this year host the “New Year Kabuki Stay” program, a two-day and one-night stay from January 5 to 26, 2024.
For people living in Edo, one of their New Year’s pleasures was to watch Kabuki, and it was a chic way to spend the New Year. Theatrical teahouses supported this way of enjoying Kabuki. In addition to arranging tickets to the theater, the teahouses delighted patrons by providing a complete range of services, including plot notes, tea, sweets, makunouchi box lunches, and snacks and drinks (*1). Hoshinoya Tokyo offers a stay to celebrate the New Year with hospitality similar to the theatrical teahouses of the time.

[Shinjuku Gyoen x Naked] NAKED Autumn Foliage in Shinjuku Gyoen 2023 to be held

From November 22 (Wed) to December 3 (Sun), 2023, an autumn foliage lighting event will be held at Shinjuku Gyoen. Following the cherry blossom event this spring, Shinjuku Gyoen and Naked will collaborate again this fall for the autumn foliage event. Shinjuku Gyoen, one of Tokyo’s most famous gardens, is one of the few places in the city where visitors can enjoy the autumn leaves. The 200-meter-long rows of plane trees, the best maple tree spot in the city, Momijiyama, and the “Middle Pond,” with its spectacular reflection in the pond, will offer a world where the autumn leaves of Shinjuku Gyoen and Naked’s art and food are fused together.
