Vintage Japanese zori sandals SAGA NISHIKI Measurement: zori sandal sole length: 2.5 cm, Heel: 4 cm Saga Nishiki is a hand-loomed traditional fabric which is elaborately woven from shredded Japanese paper coated with gold, silver and lacquer as warp and dyed silk thread as weft. As sophisticated techniques and much time are required, only a little amount can be produced each day. For this reason, these fabrics are mostly manufactured into practical small items like bags. Saga Nishiki was certified as a traditional local product by Saga prefecture in 1993.
