White Cotton Traditional Japanese Tabi Socks

Japanese Traditional · 1960s · Japanese

These traditional Japanese tabi socks feature the characteristic split-toe construction that separates the big toe from the other four toes, designed to be worn with traditional footwear like geta or zori. Made from plain white cotton, they extend to ankle height with a fitted silhouette that follows the foot's contours. The construction shows clean seaming along the sides and a reinforced heel area. The toe separation creates a distinctive bifurcated front section, while the ankle opening appears to have a slight elastic or drawstring closure for secure fit. The cotton fabric appears to be a medium-weight plain weave, providing durability for daily wear while maintaining the traditional white color associated with formal and ceremonial Japanese dress.
