おこぼ

Japanese

おこぼ (okobo): special platform geta worn by maiko.

Etymology

Shift from こぼこぼ (kobokobo), a 女房詞 (nyōbo kotoba, “woman's word”) for 木履 (bokuri, “platform geta”). That term appears to be a Kansai dialect term, possibly an onomatopoeia imitative of the sound made when walking in okobo. The longer form is first recorded in 1944,[1] but likely has a deeper history.

Pronunciation

IPA^(key): [o̞ko̞bo̞]

Noun

おこぼ (rōmaji okobo)

a specific kind of platform geta (wooden clog sandal) worn by maiko (apprentice geisha) during their apprenticeship, with a straight vertical heel and an angled toe (see the image), often lacquered in either black or red
Synonyms: 木履 (bokuri, pokkuri, bokkuri), こっぽり (koppori)
