content: "Late 19th century. Twisted rice straw. As Hough notes, footwear of rice straw are "between a shoe and sandal." Twisted strands cover the sides of the foot in the front. A single twisted strand fits over the heel. These coarsely made rice-straw sandals are worn by lower-class commoners such as farmers and laborers. Unfortunately, this pair in the Bernadou Collection is missing....Collected in Seoul. Ref: Hough Korean Catalog pl. XX, middle fig. 4; Bernadou Field Notes 91" [from: "An Ethnography of the Hermit Kingdom: The J.B. Bernadou Korean Collection 1884-1885", Chang-su Cho Houchins, 2004, number 81]
