Waraji (Japanese: 草鞋) are sandals made from straw rope that in the past were the standard footwear of the common people in Japan.
There are also various ways of arranging the cords which tie the waraji to the feet, such as nakachi-nuki, yotsu-chigake, and takano-gake.
It is very important to use a nakagukuri or extra tie across the instep, as this helps in marching on steep, snowy, or muddy roads, and in crossing swamps or rivers.
