These are paulownia geta (wooden clogs) with reddish-brown lacquered platforms and Kamakura-bori style carvings on the outer sides. The thong is a beautiful design with white, glossy fabric and cute red and light orange flower embroidery. I couldn't find any scratches on the platform, but please understand that this is a personal inspection. I've worn them once and stored them at home, so please refrain from purchasing if you are concerned. #PaulowniaGeta #Lacquer #Embroidery #Thong #Pokkuri #Koppori #Zori #Footwear #JapaneseClothing #Kimono
