Marusou - The Traditional Japanese Footwear Maker

Marusou has been producing Japanese footwear for over 60 years, building deep expertise in traditional craftsmanship. Based in Nara Prefecture, where the tradition dates back to the Edo period, the region is known for straw sandals originally made by farming families as a side craft.

Today, Marusou continues to preserve these declining traditional skills, support local industry, and pass this heritage on to future generations. Experience the quality and craftsmanship that set these products apart from mass-produced footwear or items made outside Japan.

What is Setta?

"Setta", literally means "snow geta" is a type of traditional Japanese footwear. It was made with several layers of soles and made of a material that was strong, resistant to damage, and impervious to moisture. In the past, they were mainly worn when the weather was bad. It is said that Sen no Rikyu devised and made them, and they were mainly worn by tea ceremony masters and courtesans.

Today, they are mainly worn by men when they wear kimonos.
The heels have metal parts attached to them. This metal part is was added to prevent slipping. When you walk in Setta, they hit the ground and makes a jingling sound. This is thought to be cool.

However, they may be slippery to walk on the modern flat paved ground, so please be careful walking on them.

Shigi

"Shigi" is derived from the sake breweries of Nara Prefecture and Mount Shigi. Each pair of sandals, carefully handmade in Japan, is a gem of local tradition and modern sense.

Made in Nara, Japan

Nara Prefecture has been a center of Japanese footwear production since the Edo period. What began as a cottage industry producing straw sandals evolved into a renowned tradition of crafting geta, zori, and setta using both traditional and modern materials.

Today, Marusou continues this legacy by creating authentic Japanese footwear designed to be enjoyed for generations.
