Tabi Shoes Inspired by the Elegant Depth of Japanese Black

In Japan, the deep, glossy shade of black—known as the color of a crow’s feather—carries a special cultural meaning. It is not only a symbol of mystery but also of beauty. This lustrous black has long been associated with the graceful hair of Japanese women.

Unlike in the West, where black is often seen as the opposite of white and carries negative connotations, in Japan it has traditionally been revered as a protective color. In ancient times, it was used in tattoos for warding off evil, while in the Edo period it became an adornment for women through mayuzumi (black eyebrow pigment) and ohaguro (blackened teeth).

This pair of tabi shoes celebrates the elegance of black through a carefully designed composition:

  • A luxurious jet-black base enhanced with a pattern of purple blossoms, bringing out the depth and allure of the black.

  • Accents of silver as a refined contrast and highlight.

  • A vivid lining blending green and purple for a striking hidden brilliance, revealed only when the shoes are in motion.

Together, these elements create a piece that merges Japanese tradition with contemporary design, embodying both cultural symbolism and modern elegance.

How to care for Toriko's Jikatabi socks

<Storage precautions>

Store in a well-ventilated place with low temperature and humidity. Tabi will naturally deteriorate even during storage. Deterioration will be accelerated in places with high temperature and humidity.

Please do not store the product inside a car during the summer, in direct sunlight, or in any other location that may become hot. This may cause deformation or deterioration.

If you plan to store the item for a long period of time, remove any dirt or moisture before storing it. If it is exposed to direct sunlight for a long period of time, the color of the outer fabric may change.

Due to the nature of synthetic rubber, white powder may appear on the surface of the sole of the tabi socks due to chemical reactions. Also, if the sole is left in direct sunlight for a long time or used for many years, the rubber may crack due to "ozone deterioration" (due to heat, humidity, mold, etc.) .

<Regular care>
Wipe off any dirt with a shoe brush or cloth before storing.
If the item is badly stained, hand wash it using a neutral or weak alkaline detergent (excluding those containing bleach) at the concentration indicated on the detergent label. Using bleach may cause discoloration or fading.
Rinse the detergent thoroughly, drain and wipe off excess water, reshape the shoes and dry them in a well-ventilated place in the shade. We recommend removing the insoles from the tabi and soaking them in water. When drying, remove them from the rack and dry them separately.
