| Koryo-cho in Nara Prefecture is known as the "town of socks," accounting for about 40% of the socks produced in Japan. In recent years, the proportion of socks imported from overseas has been increasing in the sock industry. Feeling a sense of crisis about this situation, volunteers from textile-related companies in Koryo-cho established the brand "ORGANIC GARDEN" in 1994. As the brand name suggests, Organic Garden's items are primarily made from organic cotton. Organic cotton is cotton that is grown on land that has not been sprayed with chemical fertilizers or pesticides for over three years, and has not been subjected to any chemical processing such as bleaching or shrinkage prevention. As it does not contain chemical substances, it is gentle on the skin and feels softer than chemically treated cotton. |
| These socks are not just black, but feature natural colors |
 Natural Black |
| These basic length five-toed socks are now available in a deep, gentle black color dyed with a natural dye called gallnut! The color is a unique natural color that combines a little gray and green. Enjoy the natural colors... These five-toed socks are dyed with Organic Garden's special techniques. |

■ What is Gobaishizome? Gobaishizome is a type of dye that uses galls, which are formed when the alder aphid parasitizes the young shoots and leaves of the alder tree and are used as the raw material for dyeing. This gallnut dyeing is characterized by a gentle black color that is unique to natural dyes, with a tasteful greenish hue. In addition, gallnut contains tannin, an antibacterial substance, and meets JIS standards. It has been used since ancient times in Japan for blackening teeth, and is said to also help prevent tooth decay and bad breath. |
| A comfortable fit filled with the gentleness and warmth of nature |
 Widened opening and fabric |
 Wearing example: Male |
| They are thin and stretchy, so they fit any foot shape. Moreover, five-toed socks gently wrap around each and every toe, eliminating moisture between the toes and allowing you to stay dry and comfortable all day long. Another advantage of these five-toed socks is that they spread your toes out, making it easier to walk and also good for your health. |
| Precautions for ordering and handling |
| The tannins in gallnut may react with sweat and turn the fabric brown. Enjoy the color change that only natural dyes can provide. |
