The link below will get you to an acrobat file that shows how to make waraji sandals. They are available for sale, and if you've got the money, go nuts. I just finished making two pair, for $4 worth of rope and $3 worth of raffia (not a lot of rice straw here on the steppes), and they're really comfy once you get used to your toes hanging over the edge a bit. That's Canadian dollars, too.
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/sca-jml/files/ --there's a link on this page called waraji.pdf, but apparently the link won't copy. Sorry for the pre-edited version.
[Huh. This was supposed to go in the "Usagi, the clothes" thread.... Sumimasen.]
