Zori
Zori (ja: 草履 zōri) are thonged Japanese sandals made of rice straw or other plant fibers, lacquered wood, or —increasingly— synthetic materials. Zori are quite similar to flip-flops, which first appeared in the United States sometime around World War II as rubber imitations of the wooden thong sandals long worn in Japan.
