Antique or vintage Geisha shoes tiny japanese pearl and wood

Description

These were a gift from my grandfather in the 1980s and they were already old. I'm not sure what the story is about exactly when and where they came from. As you can see, leather has really fallen apart with age but the body of the shoe is in fairly good condition, just missing a pearl.
