Osaka · 14 years making
· Meet the maker ·
Osaka craftsman running a three-generation sock mill. Technical patterns, zero compromise.
Ito-san inherited a twelve-machine sock mill in Higashi-Osaka from his father in 2018. He spent four years rebuilding the machines from scratch before releasing a single design. Kenta only makes what his machines can hold to in a single 14-hour shift — usually 38 pairs a day. He ships from a tatami-floor office that still smells faintly of his grandfather's pipe tobacco.
