GETA ARCHIVEMIYUKI HONPO

14 / Forms

High geta

Tall geta make both structure and symbolism easy to examine. Look beyond height to the proportion between platform and teeth.

What to observe

Record overall height, tooth section, and platform thickness. A measured side view is useful because perspective can mislead.
