Kimono Accessories Set Japanese sandals Zori and Bag Set Red Floral pattern

Zori (草履) are flat and thonged Japanese sandals made of rice straw or other plant retailer fibers, cloth, lacquered wood, leather, rubber.
The traditional forms of zori are seen when worn with other traditional clothing; modern forms are fairly common, especially in summer.
While geta are nowadays worn with the informal yukata, zori are associated with the more formal kimono.
The formality of the occasion affects the choice of kimono and zori.
The bulrush covered zori that resemble tatami mats are not used with kimono, but are considered working wear or matched with casual Western or Japanese clothing, for example jinbei.
Women's vinyl (plastic) zori are formal, but less formal than fabric, sometimes brocade covered zori, that are used with the most formal of kimono, for example, wedding and funeral wear.
As formal wear, all plastic and fabric zori for women require the use of white tabi socks.
Women's zori are seldom flat, except for the straw imitation zori.
The soles come in different thicknesses and angles.
There are even modern zori that are left uncovered by fabric or vinyl, and the shoe, except for the inner sole, is black, hard plastic with a non-slip outer sole.
Usually the outer sole is gray, genuine leather.
Like all Japanese sandals, zori allow for free circulation of air around the feet, a feature that probably came about because of the humid climate that predominates throughout most of Japan.
They are easily slipped on and off, which is important in a culture where shoes are constantly removed and put back on, and where tying shoelaces would be impractical in a tight kimono.
