The SouSou Tabi
Tabi are those split socks worn with kimonos, and it seems that if you find a pair that fits, it's like walking with gloves on your feet instead of mittens. Kyoto brand Sou Sou has added a rubber sole to tabi and launched them in all sorts of fancy patterns and colours.
Many might find them silly, but are any of you heading to Japan? Do you think you'll have space left in your suitcase on the way back to bring some for me? Are you in Japan? Can you send me lilac tabi? Or maybe just help me to understand how to order them?

Hi, I've just discovered tabi myself, in fact I've been browsing the Sou Sou webset for the last several hours, looking for some sort of way to order as many as I could! Will you write my email on a note somewhere and send me any info you might run across about how to buy these things from the U.S.? I'm sort of serious :) . . . depending on how busy you are. I'll send you anything I might find out! Even the regular thin sock fabric tabi are great, I found some (all black, ankle length) in a shop here, $10.00 a pair. ( live in Chapel Hill, NC. USA). T'anks! Linda
