What are the Japanese wooden slippers called

The Japanese wooden slippers are called clogs.

Wooden clogs, or clogs for short, are two-toothed, wooden-soled shoes that squeak when you walk up the road and are suitable for walking on rainy days and mud in the south. If the upper is made of silk, they are called silk clogs. If they are made of cowhide, they are called cowhide clogs. Under the wooden bottom are four iron nails, which are wear-resistant and non-slip.

The clog was invented by the Chinese and was a common item of clothing before the Sui and Tang dynasties, especially during the Han dynasty. The name comes from the Middle Chinese word for "clogs," and they were often called wooden clogs and used outdoors. The clogs were later introduced to Japan, where they are still popular today.

A tooth-connected geta is a clog that has the same teeth on the front and back of the clog. A clog with only one tooth is called a "tooth tooth".

The "one tooth" was used for walking along mountain paths, especially by monks who practiced in the mountains and by those who stayed in the mountains. It is possible that the tooth tooth raddle is derived from the Xie Gong Clog. In ancient times, the materials used to make the odontos have varied, and in ancient times they were made of hemp, palm, straw, bamboo bark, cranberry, and leather wrapped in cloth. The colorful ones are also called "hana-su".
