New item. Goshima-himo is a braided cord designated as a traditional Japanese craft, used for the thongs of zori sandals and obi cords. These zori sandals have thongs that are comfortable to wear for long periods, reducing strain and stress. They are recommended for those who feel foot fatigue. The inside is made of a soft, gentle material, while the outside features a beautifully colored obi cord design, with a double-layered design. Although new and unused, there is a scratch, as shown in the 8th photo. Please refrain from purchasing if you are concerned. Goshima-himo zori sandals. These are wonderful zori sandals, a tangible cultural property. Thank you for your consideration. I am selling these because I have no plans to use them.
