HONOURING TRADITION - The MICHI House Zoris

In Japan, it is a tradition to remove outdoor footwear and use house slippers upon entering a home. This practice, rooted in centuries of tradition, is done out of respect to the home owner and symbolizes reverence for the household, signifying a clean and harmonious environment within. Guests are graciously offered house slippers as a gesture of respect, ensuring that the sanctity of the home remains preserved. Today, the MICHI house slippers epitomize sophistication, effortlessly embracing tradition with unparalleled elegance, symbolizing the artistry of beautiful and opulent footwear.

Originating from a time when conservation was paramount, these slippers were ingeniously crafted using available materials, such as cloth scraps, straw, and other remnants. The MICHI house slippers embody a legacy steeped in resourcefulness and tradition.

The essence of these Zoris lies in their inception—borne out of the cultural ethos of minimizing waste and repurposing materials to create functional yet beautiful footwear.

The Zoris, with their humble origins and cultural significance, have transcended time, remaining a poignant representation of Japanese values. Crafted with meticulous attention to detail and often featuring intricate designs, they showcase not just resourcefulness but also an artistry that reflects Japan's reverence for tradition and harmony.
