Geta craft in Shizuoka
This guide introduces ways to look at regional geta through bare wood, coatings, and design, while allowing for differences among workshops and periods.
What to observe
Compare sheen, layers of finish, and platform shape in photographs. Objects with the same label can still differ substantially.
Thinking as a collection
For finish-minded collectors, frontal, side, and close-up images plus a making record support a better decision.
