EDITORS COMMENTS
Geta Clog Maker, Japan (circa 1920s) - A captivating postcard image by Grenville Collins transports us back in time to a quaint Japanese shop during the 1920s. The scene unfolds in a small, dimly lit workshop where an artisan meticulously crafts traditional geta clogs. Geta, a type of wooden sandal with raised platforms and adjustable straps, have been a staple of Japanese footwear for centuries. The master craftsman is seen in the foreground, intently focusing on the intricate details of his creation. He skillfully carves and shapes the wooden blocks, each one carefully selected for its unique grain and texture. The blocks are then sanded and polished to a smooth finish, before the straps are attached with precise knots. Surrounding the craftsman are piles of raw materials and half-finished clogs, a testament to the labor-intensive process of shoemaking. The warm, earthy tones of the wood, combined with the soft, natural light filtering in from the window, create an inviting and authentic atmosphere. The geta clog maker's shop, nestled in an unspecified location in Japan, offers a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage and traditional industries that once thrived in this vibrant and dynamic country. This postcard image, captured by Grenville Collins, serves as a poignant reminder of the beauty and artistry that can be found in the simplest of everyday objects and the dedicated individuals who bring them to life.
