Why We Love It
Handmade using high–quality paulownia wood, these wooden geta sandals are very comfortable to wear whether you’re indoors or outdoors. Paulownia wood is the finest choice for wooden sandals - it is surprisingly light, fine-grained, and warp-resistant.
The striking textile design is called Bingata, a traditional Okinawan dyeing craft passed on since the Ryukyu dynasty in the 14th century. This time-consuming method of stenciling and hand-dyeing, is utilized to create contemporary designs by the chic Okinawan brand Binryu.
Fresh and unique, these handmade geta sandals will complement any summer yukata or perfect as a summer sandal for your fashion wardrobe.

In the southern Japanese islands of Okinawa, Binryu is revatilizing bingata design, a traditional Okinawan dyeing craft developed over 500 years ago.
Traditional Bingata Textiles
Bingata stencil-printed and hand-painted fabrics were once reserved for upper class samurai families. These fine textiles were used for luxury items such as silk kimono and elaborate obi belts. Today Binryu’s heritage-inspired designs can be enjoyed by anyone with an eye for the gorgeous floral style of the Okinawan islands.
Binryu Design Team
Binryu began in 2006 with a goal to encourage the appreciation of local design, and to make useful and beautiful items to bring joy and happiness into people’s lives.
Bingata Wooden Geta Sandals in Passion Flower
Bingata printing is a long process that requires expert technique, but the results are unique craft goods that reveal the care and attention poured into them. When creating a new design a hand-carved stencil is is used to print the outline onto the fabric. This outline is finished by hand with a brush, before shading and hand-painting the color. All of Binryu’s creations, are painted one at a time and with great expertise.
Setta, Zori & Geta are authentic Japanese sandals, which means they are traditionally narrower than western flip-flops, and fit more snugly to the width of your foot.
