What are the names of Japanese wooden shoes?

Japanese wooden shoes are called clogs.

Clogs were invented by China people. Before Sui and Tang Dynasties, especially in Han Dynasty, clogs were common clothes. Its name comes from the middle ancient sound "clogs drawer", which is often called clogs and used outdoors. Later, it was introduced to Japan and has been popular ever since.

Clogs, referred to as clogs for short, are a kind of shoes with double teeth and wooden soles, which squeak when walking, and are suitable for walking in rainy days and mud in the south. If the vamp is made of silk, it is called a silk shoe. Cowhide is called cowhide. There are four nails under the wood, which are wear-resistant and non-slip.

The origin of clogs:

Clogs were invented in China. During the period of 1987, archaeologists found two remaining clogs in the late Neolithic site of Cihu, Ningbo, Zhejiang Province, both worn by left feet. Clogs are flat, slightly foot-shaped, wide at the front and narrow at the back. A piece of wood has a flat body with five small holes in it and a hole in its head. There are two holes in the middle heel, and a groove is dug between the two holes, and the width and aperture of the groove are the same.

It is speculated that the purpose is to insert the rope into the groove after passing through the small hole to make the surface smooth. When the rope was unearthed, it was rotten and had no fangs. The other piece is a square heel with a round head, with six holes, and a groove is also dug between the two holes in the heel. According to textual research, these two clogs have a history of more than 4,000 years and belong to Liangzhu cultural relics.
