Waraji
Waraji (草鞋) are sandals made from straw rope that in the past were the standard footwear of the common people in Japan. Waraji were also worn by the samurai class and foot soldiers (ashigaru) during the feudal era of Japan.
Description
Traditionally the rope material was made of rice straw, however waraji can be made out of various other materials such as hemp, stalks of myōga, palm fibers, and cotton thread. Now they are mostly worn by traditional Buddhist monks.
Traditionally, the Japanese wear the waraji with their toes protruding slightly over the front edge. However, there are no set rules or guidelines on wearing waraji.
Remnants of Baekje-era straw footwear that is similar to the Japanese waraji had been found in Gungnamji (궁남지) Buyeo County, South Korea in 1995, which suggests the level of interaction between ancient Korean and Japanese culture.
Tying
How waraji are tied depends on the user. For instance, a monk ties the waraji differently from a farmer, a soldier ties it differently from a townsman, and so on.

Slept So Long
by: OrgyWalking
Waiting
Alone without a care
Hoping, hating
Things I can't bare
Did you think it's cool to walk right up
To take my life
And fuck it up
Well, did you?
I see hell in your eyes
Taken in by surprise
Touching you makes me feel alive
Touching you makes me die inside
Walking
Waiting
Alone without a care
Hoping, hating
Things I can't bare
Did you think it's cool to walk right up
To take my life
And fuck it up
Well, did you?
I hate you
I see hell in your eyes
Taken in by surprise
Touching you makes me feel alive
Touching you makes me die inside
I've slept so long without you
It's tearing me apart till
How to get this far playing games
With fist held cards
I've killed a million pity souls
But I couldn't kill you
I've slept so long without you
I see hell in your eyes
Taken in by surprise
Touching you makes me feel alive
Touching you makes me die inside
I see hell in your eyes
Taken in by surprise
Touching you makes me feel alive
Touching you makes me die inside
I see hell in your eyes
Taken in by surprise
Touching you makes me feel alive
