What are snowshoes?
What’s so special about traditional Japanese snowshoes?
-
Japanese traditional snowshoes (かんじき)
Mainly made of wood and hemp rope, it is light weight, easy to carry, and cheap, but has relatively low buoyancy on snow.

Modern snowshoes
Mainly made of aluminum alloy, they are larger and heavier than traditional Japanese snowshoes, but they have better buoyancy on the snow, so they are often used in modern mountaineering during the snow season.
