Foreword

About the Get-a-Geta Project

In the course of Design Meanings at Chiba University, we try to learn more about materials and shapes, aesthetics and culture. We try to make sense of the semantic and poetic qualities of design. Fundamentally, we try to understand how design tells us something about ourselves and the world. We are a very diverse group of 24 students, coming from eleven different countries and with very different cultural and educational backgrounds and speaking eleven different languages. While we all found ourselves in Japan, the Japanese students in this group are only two and they also find themselves lost in this cultural bubbling magma. The eclectic mix that composes our class determines the best conditions for us to approach the local culture and so create new languages. That is why we chose to look at a local archetype - the Japanese traditional clog called Geta - and play with it. While researching on the Geta, we came across the project of Japanese artist Shuhei Hasado. In 2004, Japanese designer Kenya Hara organized an exhibition titled ‘HAPTIC - Awakening the senses’. The 22 participants all proposed projects that explore new sensorial relationships between users and artefacts. Among the proposed projects there was a dozen of getas designed by Japanese artist Shuhei Hasado. The top surface of each geta was covered with different materials, ranging from grass to straws, from moss to plaster. We really enjoyed the Getas designed by Shuhei Hasado, but we also felt that his work could have served as a starting point for us to investigate more.

Freed from the cultural constrictions and references that may have refrained Hasado from taking braver decisions, we decided to explore the boundaries of getas as an archetype. While he laid a material layer on the upper part of the geta, where the foot touches the clog, we chose to look at the whole geta, taking control - or maybe we should say losing control - of both material and shape. Soon we realized that by changing materials and shape, we could learn more about what is an archetype, what new meanings, contexts and behaviours each geta suggests, even if not in a clear or rational way. Reinterpreting and reappropriating our own or someone else’s culture has always been the best, if not the only way, to learn and to create new culture. As designers, we feel like learning and creating culture is part of our role. We know we have a long way to walk in our career path, but we also believe that walking a few steps in these strange Getas will help us getting where we want to go.

Get-a-Geta | Exploring the Archetype


Introduction | 㼪Ⰵ

Getas are a form of traditional Japanese footwear that resemble both clogs and flip-flops. They are a kind of sandal with an elevated wooden base held onto the foot with a fabric thong to keep the foot well above the ground. They are worn with traditional Japanese clothing such as kimono or yukata, but (in Japan) also with Western clothing during the summer months. Sometimes geta are worn in rain or snow to keep the feet dry, due to their extra height. They make a similar noise to flip-flops slapping against the heel whilst walking. When worn on water or dirt, flip-flops may flip dirt or water up the back of the legs. This does not tend to happen with the taller, heavier Japanese Geta. ♴꼽‫כ‬ծ加ꬱ‫؟װ‬ٝ‫חٕت‬⡂‫׋‬傈劤‫ך‬⠗ 窟涸‫ז‬㾶暟‫ׅד‬կ加‫ך‬匢‫ח‬䋒‫ך‬秡‫ד‬駈‫׾‬ 㔿㹀‫׷ׅ‬ծ‫؟‬ٝ‫ׅדך׮זֲ״ךٕت‬կ傈 劤‫ך‬⠗窟涸‫ז‬邅鄲‫׷֮ד‬滠暟‫װ‬嵭邅‫ח‬⡂ さְ‫ָׅת‬ծ㢙‫ך‬峔剪‫׮ח‬⡂さְ‫ׅת‬կ♴ 꼽‫כ‬넝ָׁ֮‫דך׷‬ծ儗‫ח‬ꨍꨒ‫ד‬駈ָ憛 ‫׾ך׷׸‬꣇ֺ‫ׅת‬կ ♴꼽‫؟כ‬ٝ‫ָٕت‬䎮‫ח‬ 鍗‫הך׷׸‬⡂‫׋‬갈‫ׅת׃⳿׾‬կ ‫؟‬ٝ‫דٕت‬ 弪‫׋׏‬㖑꬗‫׾‬娄ֻ‫ה‬駈‫׾‬寅‫ׅתְת׃ג׃‬ ָծ넝ׁ‫♴׷֮ך‬꼽‫חהֿזֲ״ך׉כד‬ ‫׿ׇת׶זכ‬կ 8JLJQFEJB

Transforming the Archetype

Geta is one of the most famous archetypal products of Japan. In this project, we used different materials in making the getas, as we would like to experience and learn the various production processes involved. Each material gives a new perspective on this ancient archetype of the Japanese clog. Aside from the material, we also played around with the different shapes of the geta. To our surprise, we discovered new possible or absurd functions when we changed the shapes or the materials of the geta. Beyond the material and shape, we noticed that the archetype of a geta includes hidden perspectives: from the sound that a geta makes, to the way a person walks while wearing it. With this publication, we hope to bring you along the fun process we had throughout the project.

Geta es el nombre que recibe uno de los productos arquetipo más famosos de Japón. En este proyecto, usamos distintos materiales para creas versiones nuevas de este calzado. Esto con el propósito de experimentar y aprender de los procesos de producción que hacerlas implican. Cada material brinda una nueva perspectiva del antiguo arquetipo. Además de la exploración con materiales, también jugamos con formas diferentes. Para nuestra gran sorpresa, descubrimos nuevas formas de uso, tanto posibles como absurdas, al cambiar la forma o el material de las getas. Más allá de estos aspectos, notamos que el arquetipo de estos zapatos tiene particularidades ocultas: desde el sonido que generan, hasta la forma en que una persona camina al usarlas. Con esta publicación esperamos compartirles el divertido proceso por el que pasamos a lo largo del proyecto.

So get ready, and #Getageta

Bahasa Indonesia Geta adalah salah 1 produk khas jepang yang mudah dikenali. Dalam proyek ini, kami menggunakan berbagai macam material untuk membuat geta, karena kami ingin mempelajari dan merasakan langsung proses produksi dari tiap material yang bersangkutan. Setiap material mampu memberikan perspektif baru pada objek ini. Selain material, kami juga mengeksplorasi bentuk geta. Selama proses eksplorasi, kami menemukan banyak bentuk dan fungsi baru yang menarik untuk ditelaah lebih lanjut. Kami juga menyadari bahwa geta memiliki beberapa nilai dan hal yang patut diapresiasi, dari cara orang berjalan menggunakan geta, sampai pada suara yang dihasilkan dari langkah geta. Kami berharap dapat menyampaikan proses dan kesenangan yang kami rasakan selama proyek berlangsung.

Getas sind eines der bekanntesten archetypischen Produkte Japans. In diesem Projekt haben wir unterschiedliche Materialien verwendet, um Getas nachzubilden und mehr über die entsprechenden Produktionsprozesse zu erfahren. Hierbei ermöglicht jedes Material eine neue Perspektive auf die Form des Archetypen. Deshalb haben wir neben dem Material auch die Form der Getas untersucht. Zu unserer Überraschung haben wir hierbei neue, manchmal absurde, Funktionen und weniger offensichtliche Merkmale - wie das Geräusch, dass Getas verursachen oder die Art, in ihnen zu Laufen - entdeckt. Den spannend Prozess dieses Projektes möchten wir anhand dieser Publikation mit Ihnen teilen.

Geta on yksi kuuluisimmista Japanilaisista arkkituotteista. Tässä projektissa käytimme eri materiaaleja getan valmistukseen, kokeaksemme ja oppiaksemme uusia tuotanto- ja valmistusmenetelmiä. Jokainen käytetty materiaali tuoo uuden perspektiivin myös leikittelimme materiaalien lisäksi getan muodoilla. Yllätyimme huomatessamme uusien materiaalien ja muotojen tuovan uusia mahdollisia käyttötarkoituksia getalle. Materiaalien ja muotojen lisäksi havaitsimme getan arkkityypin sisältävän muitakin piileviä näkökulmia. Esimerkiksi getan tuottama ääni kävellessä ja tapa jolla henkilö kävelee tietyn tyyppisellä getalla. Tämän julkaisun avulla toivomme voivamme välittää teillekin osan hauskuudesta jota koimme projektin aikana.

Svenska En av Japans mest kända arketyper kallas geta, vilket är en sko ursprungligen tillverkad i trä. Den bärs oftast tillsammans med de traditionella klädesplaggen yukata eller kimono. I det här projektet har vi testat gränserna för vad som gör en geta till just en geta. Detta har vi gjort genom att själva provat på att tillverka skor i olika material. Varje nytt material har gett oss minst ett nytt perspektiv. Men vi begränsade oss inte till att enbart testa nya material, utan vi har också utforskat nya former. Till vår förvåning upptäckte vi nya möjligheter och absurda funktioner när vi ändrade formen eller materialen. Förutom material och form upptäckte vi även andra karaktäristiska drag som tillhör getans arketyp. Det kan bland annat vara ljudet som uppstår vid användningen av skorna eller gångstilen hos bäraren. Vi hoppas att denna trycksak kan ge en inblick i processen bakom vårat utforskande av getan.

Chacun d’eux redonne ainsi un souffle nouveau à cet archétype traditionnel. Nous avons égallement revu la forme de la geta ce qui nous a ouvert sur de nouveaux possibles et fonctions absurdes. Au delà d’un regard renouvelé sur l’archétype, jouer avec nous a permis de découvrir certaines particularités intrinsèque à la geta classique, de son son jusqu’à la façon de marcher avec.

Italiano I geta sono uno dei più famosi prodotti archetipici del Giappone. In questo progetto abbiamo realizzato i geta con differenti materiali, al fine di sperimentare e imparare diversi processi di produzione. Ogni materiale apre nuove prospettive rispetto all’archetipo di partenza, ma non solo. Giocando anche con la forma, con nostra sorpresa, abbiamo scoperto nuove possibili o assurde funzioni. Al di là del materiale e della forma, l’archetipo dei geta include delle prospettive nascoste: a partire dal suono che i geta producono fino al modo in cui una persona può camminare mentre li indossa. Con questa pubblicazione, speriamo di condurvi nel divertente processo che ci ha visto coinvolti nella realizzazione del progetto. Dunque, preparatevi e #Getageta
