Classification

Summary

Jikatabi manufacturing workers are craftsmen who produce traditional Japanese jikatabi, performing processes such as cutting materials, sewing, and attaching soles by hand or with sewing machines.

Description

Jikatabi manufacturing workers are specialists who make jikatabi using fabric materials such as cotton or hemp. First, they cut the fabric according to patterns, then perform sewing with sewing machines or by hand. Afterward, they attach soles such as rubber or hemp soles and finish the shape. The work is primarily manual, with accurate dimension management and careful sewing directly impacting quality. While preserving traditional techniques, there are factories with mass production systems as well as workshops where artisans handcraft each pair.

Future Outlook

Demand for construction work and festival use remains steady, but the shortage of successors to traditional techniques is serious. Technology inheritance and new design development are future challenges.
