Sousou Tabi

I first knew the existence of Sou Sou related shops when I entered the clothes shop for kids. I found many Sou sou dealing in kids’, men’s women’s or socks shops Around the area. All of them have machiya or merchant style tasteful atmosphere.
I have a bad circulation and am sensitive to cold even in summer and decided to enter this shop to find nice socks.
By the way do you know Tabi? Japanese socks with a separate division for a big toe and other toes. It is usually white in color and worn when wearing Kimono. However it is different now. This shop deals in arranged Tabi with colorful pop designs. They suite Western clothes well. Not only short type but also long one is offered. The long Tabi is rare. The textile is stout. Also Jikatabi or rubber-​soled Tabi are provided. They are used when walking outside. I’ve never seen such colorful and modern Jikatabi before, and they overturn our common sense! Splendid works! When my husband took part in the local festival in Himeji, I wanted him to wear Jikatabi here. At that time I didn’t know the existence of this shop. When I come here, I want to appreciate wonderful Japanese culture. I hope a lot of foreign tourists will come here in a hidden nice shop on an alley.
