- She took a while getting her crooked feet into her zori, but finally turned toward Mr. Tanaka and gave him a look he seemed to understand at once, because he left the room, closing the door behind him.

- Traditionally, zori are worn to and from the place of practice. Zori are similar to flip-flops and used to be made from straw.
- 1983 July, Tony Annesi, Dogu: Tools For the Way, Black Belt, page 70,
- (especially Southeast US) A sandal, usually of rubber, secured to the foot by two straps mounted between the big toe and its neighbour.
