This is a gigantic cedar clog/ sandal called “Geta” in Japanese. 
The height is 4.15 m, while the width is 2.1 m. 
It weighs about 1,000 kilograms.
It is displayed in Hita city which is a famous production of sandals.
You can image how big it is thanks to the regular sandals next to it in the photo above.


Geta is Japanese traditional wooden footwear and they are usually worn with bare feet.

Ipponba: one-support clogs /一本歯


There are unique clogs called “Ipponba” which feature one-support(see the photo above). 
For your information, the regular sandals have two-supports.
Ipponba will help to train your inner muscles.


Do you think you can walk properly with Ipponba or one-support clogs?
In fact, standing still in one-support clogs is more difficult than walking in one-support clogs.

これは、日本一の杉下駄です。
高さ4.15 m、幅2.1 m、重さ約1,000 kg です。
下駄の生産地で有名な日田市の天領日田はきもの資料館に展示してあります。
隣に普通の下駄が写っていますので、どれほど大きいか分かりますね。


下駄は日本の伝統的な木製の履き物であり、ふつう素足で履きます。
普通の下駄は歯が二本ありますが、『一本歯』と呼ばれる面白い下駄があります。
一本歯は体幹を鍛えるのに役立ちます。


一本歯でちゃんと歩けると思いますか。
実は、歩くよりも静止することの方が難しいですけれど。
