Japanese Tabi Socks | Koinobori

Tabi  are traditional Japanese socks dating back to the 15th century, with a split for the large toe so that they may easily and comfortably be worn with sandals. According to Shiatsu theory, wearing tabi socks benefits the back, the spine, and the digestion due to the acupuncture meridians located between the toes. Tabi are still worn today when people dress in wafuku, traditional Japanese clothing such as kimono.
