Koryo Town in Nara Prefecture is a sock town that accounts for about 40% of the sock production in Japan. In recent years, the ratio of imports from overseas has increased in the sock industry, and the textile-related company volunteers in Koryo-cho who felt a sense of crisis about this situation established the brand "ORGANIC GARDEN" in 1994. . As the brand name suggests, organic garden items use organic cotton as the main material. Organic cotton is grown on land that has not been sprayed with chemical fertilizers or pesticides for three years or more, and is cotton that has not undergone any chemical treatment such as bleaching or shrink-proofing. It does not contain chemical substances, so it is gentle on the skin and has a soft texture compared to chemically treated cotton. |
You can choose from 2 colors, Gobushi dyeing and Saido dyeing. |
Earth red (pink) (dyed with soil from Ayers Rock, Australia) |
Earth Gray |
These socks are natural socks that are perfect for sports scenes, made with an emphasis on functionality that supports your feet in outdoor activities and sports while making the most of organic cotton. Developed based on research into the human foot, these organic garden original socks are equipped with a function called the "Healing Support System," which offers a fit that does not put strain on the feet, a natural feeling of comfort, and an ability to eliminate discomfort such as stuffiness. It is a fulfilling item with various ingenuity such as mesh. |
As a point of appearance, it features a fold part called Achilles support that pops out. This protects the important ankle movement. And the unique support on the front and back of the heel keeps the socks in place. It wraps around your feet without putting pressure on your muscles, so it supports your feet without compromising the blood circulation mechanism. The pile fabric on the sole has cushioning that absorbs the impact of exercise, and the instep has a border-like mesh weave that enhances breathability. |
In addition to functionality, it also contains "dyeing" that is particular about organic gardens. Natural Black (Earth Gray) is in the heel and toe area, and Ayers Rock Pink (Earth Red) is in the bottom of the pile fabric. I want to enjoy a discerning natural fashion even when exercising! It is perfect for you who are active and outdoors. |
Hanizome is an ancient dyeing technique that has been revived in modern times. Bright red and yellow natural soil is purified and fixed to the fiber structure without using any mordants. After removing impurities from carefully selected soil and sterilizing it, it is further refined to become a dye. Therefore, it does not contain any harmful substances. Another major feature is that the color hardly fades in the sunlight, unlike "plant dyeing" that fades in sunlight. |
■ What is Gobaishizome? Gobaishi is an insect gall that parasitizes Nurde's young shoots and young leaves. This Gobuko dyeing is characterized by a very gentle black color that is unique to natural dyes, and has a greenish color. In addition, gobaiko contains an antibacterial substance called tannin, which meets JIS standards. In Japan, it has been used to blacken teeth since ancient times, and is said to have played a role in preventing tooth decay and bad breath. |
