monessay ─ bone to run

This is "monessay," a Series by Toshiyuki Sai, Publisher of HOUYHNHNM and Editor-in-Chief of HOUYHNHNM Unplugged. It is an essay through objects, so it is called "monessay," and it is not a column with a twist, but it is not a poetic essay either. The column that had been serialized in a certain magazine for quite a long time has been discontinued, and a new column has been started in HOUYHNHNM. This time, we'll be looking at sandals from SUICOKE.
