· The Story ·
Ito-san worked with a tattoo artist in Kyoto to redraw the traditional oni lines for the circular knitting machine. Took six months.
· Description ·
A 38cm tall sock with three interlocking oni mask motifs running up the calf. Heavy-gauge knit that holds its shape all day.
· Material ·
80% merino wool, 16% nylon, 4% spandex
Care: Hand wash cold. Lay flat to dry. Do not iron the pattern.

· 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.

Ito-san is the real deal.
I have been buying Ito mill socks for six years. This design is his best work. The merino is the warmest sock I own.
