Iwabe Hotaori Honpo / Founded in 1893 (Meiji 26)

This long-established store carries on the tradition of Botaori, which originated in the Takamatsu domain about 400 years ago.

As the name "long-lasting" suggests, this fabric is characterized by its durability and longevity, thanks to the weaving technique that combines multiple warp and weft threads. The unique texture and feel that results from this weave combines a pleasant feel with excellent moisture absorption.

Hanao, the traditional footwear that has adorned the feet of Japanese people

"HANAO SHOES" is a new standard that incorporates the "hanao" straps that have been attached to sandals and geta sandals for hundreds of years and have adorned the feet of Japanese people into modern sneakers. "HANAO SHOES JAPAN" (Spring 2023) will produce 47 types of HANAO SHOES using locally dyed textiles from all 47 prefectures.

Then, in spring 2024, a new version of HANAO SHOES was born, allowing customers to change the straps themselves.

Choose your own thong and attach it to your sneakers

The sneakers now come in black, the straps are now removable, and the sneakers have a sleeker look.

With just one pair of shoes, you can customize your HANAO SHOES to suit your style. The sneakers are made by MOON STAR (Kurume), and the straps are all handmade by Japanese artisans.

Wear it on a sunny day

The hanao straps contain cotton and a pattern, so they will lose their shape if they get wet. To ensure they last longer, we recommend removing the hanao straps on rainy days or when washing your shoes.

Care instructions vary depending on the fabric of the straps, so please feel free to contact us.
