From Quiz Back to the Futon
Answer:
feet
Zori and geta are both traditional types of thonged Japanese footwear. Zori are flat, much like flip-flops, while geta are wooden clogs with an elevated base. Of the two, zori are considered more formal, and often worn with kimonos, while geta tend to be worn in summer with less formal clothing. Tabi (meaning "foot pouch") are ankle socks with a separate section for the big toe, worn with either of these sandals during the colder months of the year.
The first known use of "zori" in English dates from 1823; "geta" came a few decades later, in 1876, and "tabi" around 1890.
