Figure 1.-- Here we see two styles of uwabaki. The strap shoe style seens popular for the gurls abd tge sneaker type for the boys. The gender differentiation, however, is not always as sharp as this suggests. |

Perhaps that many uwabaki are standard enough that many schools have not found it nececessary to chose a specific style. There are, however, some differences anong uwabaki. We see children wearing a range of colors and styles. White or light colored Uwabaki seem the most common. Some have colored highlights. We are not entirely sure about styles as our rchive is still fairly limited. The two basic styles seem to be Uwabaki done like strap shoes/ballet slippers. Others are done more like sneakers, although without laces. They are elkasticzed as aay of keeping them on. As they are not outdoor footwear used for strenous sports, they do not strong fastening to keep on.
