guy's kimono footware

There's geta art exhibition opening in LA on 6/14.
Geta's are traditional footware worn by Japanese men when they get dressed in traditional clothing like kimono and yukata but they wear it with western clothing too sometimes.

Karan Koron is the sound made when you wear getas and it makes everyone nostalgic.

"Karan Koron is an amazing opportunity to view and purchase custom works by more than 60 world-renowned artists. In an attempt to combine the eastern and western world of artistry, over 60 original pairs of getas will be painted, sculpted, carved, and drawn on by contemporary artists highly recognized in the art industry today. The artists range from emerging artists, local and underground artists from Japan, LA and Mexico, legendary graffiti artists, to students and lecturers of Musachino Art University in Japan."
