Japanese socks are often referred to as "tabi" socks. They are a traditional type of Japanese sock that dates back to the 15th century. Tabi socks are unique in that they have a separation between the big toe and the other toes, allowing them to be worn with traditional Japanese footwear such as "geta" or "zori".

Tabi socks are available in a wide range of materials, including cotton, silk, and synthetic fabrics. They come in various colors and designs, from plain white or black to brightly colored patterns. In addition to being a traditional garment, tabi socks have also become popular among fashion-conscious individuals around the world as a stylish accessory.
