SAMURAI JEANS logo print Japanese "washi paper" socks. Compared to cotton, washi yarn has superior moisture and water absorbency, along with good heat retention properties. In summer, these socks keep your feet cool and don't have the sticky feel of linen, while in winter, a layer of warm air will envelop your feet. This makes them suitable year-round. On top of all this, these socks exhibit a beautiful texture and lightness peculiar to Japanese washi paper.
