These elevated wooden geta, adorned with the mystical Tengu and the symbolic Tomoe mon motifs, were not just practical for elevating the wearer above the street but also marked a person's high social standing. The vermilion lacquer, known for its bright and enduring color, was an expensive material that added to the value of these geta, making them a lavish accessory of the time. In the Edo era, such geta were primarily donned by geisha, courtesans, and kabuki actors, who were the trendsetters of their society. The Tengu — a protective yet mischievous deity — along with the Tomoe, embodying the harmony of nature, together enhance the mythical allure of these geta.
