EDITORS COMMENTS
This postcard image, titled 'Zori Sandal Maker, Japan' and dated circa 1920s, offers a glimpse into the traditional craftsmanship and industry of Japan during the early 20th century. The photograph, taken by Grenville Collins, showcases a Japanese artisan intently focused on his work, meticulously sewing the straps of a zori sandal. Zori are a type of Japanese sandal, typically made of rice straw soles and woven rush or hemp uppers. They have been a popular form of footwear in Japan for centuries, particularly during the warmer months. The sandals are often worn with traditional Japanese clothing and are considered an essential part of Japanese culture. The sandal maker's workshop is depicted in the background, with a glass display cabinet showcasing various completed zori sandals in different sizes and designs. The sandals are arranged neatly, displaying the intricate details of their construction. The sandal maker's tools and supplies are also visible, including a sewing machine and rolls of woven material. The scene exudes a sense of quiet focus and dedication to the art of sandal making. The traditional setting, with its simple yet functional design, highlights the importance of craftsmanship and attention to detail in Japanese industry during this era. The image is a testament to the enduring nature of Japanese culture and the artisans who continue to preserve and pass down these time-honored techniques.
