As a grade level, students have been asked to take pictures of items that represent the history, geography and culture of Japan. We will be using these photos and comments to develop an understanding of how history and geography shape a culture.
Add comments or questions in English or Japanese in order to help us really develop a deeper understanding of Japan.

A long time ago people usually didn`t wear shoes but only some people did.
Those people were high ranking.
The oldest geta found in history was from AD200 period.
This oldest geta was used for farming.
Because Japanese usualy put a lot of water into rice field, the
geta was made out of wood and the bottom of geta is higher than other
shoes.
