Use of Slippers in Japan
Slippers were first used in Japanese homes during the Meiji Period to cover their feet after respectfully following the custom of taking off their outdoor shoes at the door. This concept of slipper wearing is still popular today in Japan and other customary households to keep areas of the home clean.
