Why do Japanese wear wooden shoes?

Clogs, as the name implies, are shoes made of wood. The soles of clogs are made of wooden boards, and the front of clogs is tied with straps, so that they can be worn on feet. The invention of clogs cannot be separated from a man named meson tui in China. The story happened in the Spring and Autumn Period about 2,600 years ago. At that time, Jin Xiangong of the State of Jin had a son named Zhong Er, who was one of the famous five tyrants in the Spring and Autumn Period-Jin Wengong. Clogs are still popular in Japan, which was handed down from China. It has become a traditional costume in Japan. You must wear a kimono with clogs.
