Kyoto Jika Tabi. Symbolizes the traditional feel and shade of the Kyoto atmosphere and its heart-captivating charm of being the heart of Japan. The color represents the Aozome of what is worldly known as the “Japanese Blue” or “Japanese Indigo”. Wear this and believe it or not, “Wa” spirit will be with as you walk in fashion and function.
This style is inspired by the image of the Kamakura Period which is said to be the birth of the shibui and wabi sabi taste of the Japanese. Most of what we feel as traditional Japanese such as the color combinations trace their roots to this period where the truly beautiful Japanese sense was refined to the heighest standards focusing on function and beauty. This is known as the 機の美 or Kinobi in Japanese. The dark Japanese red with its faded and grainy details combined along with the eternality of black gives a very refined aura symbolic of the nobles during that period.
