Fine Checkered Japanese Socks, a shogi game near Asakusa
Saturday afternoon, in a small shogi club near Asakusa. The wooden board covers the entire table, and the pieces clatter with every move. A teapot steams on the windowsill. Aya has folded her legs underneath her, barefoot as required by the house. Between the hem of her trousers and the tatami, her black socks reveal a fine light grid, almost identical to that of the board. Her opponent, an elderly man, looks up, smiles, then moves his pawn. She responds without hesitation. The squares of the board, the squares of the sock, everything aligns that day.
At the office, in town, or with sandals, how to balance the grid
Transparent squares can sometimes look too bold for everyday wear. Under straight trousers, the pattern is only visible with movement; under a midi skirt, it takes center stage. It is up to you to balance it. These transparent tabi socks can be worn with flat sandals, mules, or loafers. Rolling up trousers by two fingers is enough to show the ankle. Hand wash or machine wash in a mesh bag at 30 degrees, dry flat, without twisting the fabric. In your bag, a spare pair takes up no more space than a tissue. Black to start, white when you feel like adding texture.

What is the difference between a kimono, a yukata, and a kimono jacket?

The kimono jacket (or haori) is a short, modern version that is easy to wear every day with jeans or a dress. To learn more: what is the difference between a kimono and a yukata?
How do I choose the right size?
The size guides on our product pages are already converted into European sizes: simply choose your usual size using the chart. Since our clothing is made in Asian sizes, the label on the garment you receive will show an Asian size, which is often 1 to 2 sizes larger: this is normal, and the garment will correspond to the European size you ordered. See our size guide.
