Shoes or Zori

This section explains how to beautifully remove your zori and shoes.

In Japan, there is a place called "Entrance.

That is where you take off your shoes.

Shoes and sandals are removed in this orientation.

Irihune, meaning "for the ship to enter," is said.

Sit like this.

Then, hold your sandals or shoes.

Most Japanese people hold their shoes and sandals without sitting down, so sitting down and holding them makes their beauty stand out more.

If you have a shoe box for shoes or slippers, put them here.

This is called Getabako in Japanese.

If there is no Getabako.

Orient the shoes or Zori in this way.

It is called Defune in Japanese because it resembles a ship leaving.

It is more beautiful if they are placed in a corner, out of the way.

Make sure that others will not have difficulty removing their shoes or Zori.

Not all Japanese do it.

But those who have beautiful manners do.

People who can do beautiful manners look attractive to me.
