Japanese Geta 'Aomori'

The black geta blooming in deep red and white

Red against the dark, for maximum drama. This geta carries the same deep burgundy hanao straps with their white floral motif, but sets them on a black-stained wooden base — and the contrast is striking. The rich red strap glows against the near-black wood, making this the most dramatic pairing in the collection.

The base keeps the classic geta form — a raised wooden platform on two teeth — finished in a deep black with the grain showing faintly through. The dark wood gives the red straps a striking, jewel-like setting, the whole sandal reading rich and intentional. Rubber-coated teeth keep each step secure.

The straps lead with warmth and contrast: deep deep red woven fabric, padded soft, printed with a white floral-and-vine pattern across the foot. Where the brown-based version reads warm and earthy, this one reads dramatic and refined, the burgundy strap all the more vivid against the black platform below.

Sized from 38 up, these pair beautifully with darker fits and with traditional dress alike, the red strap bringing color while the black base keeps things grounded. The most eye-catching pair of the range.

Sizes run from 38 to 46. For the most comfortable wear, we recommend going one size up when you choose yours. The base needs no breaking in; the padded straps soften with wear. Deep red blooms, set against black.

Wearing these brings the unmistakable clack of geta on hard ground, a sound woven into Japanese festival and street life for generations. The red strap against black wood makes the experience feel dramatic and special. Red has long signified celebration and good fortune in Japan, and set against the dark base here it reads as both festive and refined, a sandal made to be noticed.
