EXPO2025 Osaka, Kansai Japan Official Licensed Product Tabi-style socks featuring the "ID" design element The traditional Japanese tabi shape is said to have originated from the shitauzu (socks) that existed in the Nara period. Made from cotton and washi fiber, natural materials, these socks excel at absorbing and wicking away moisture, providing a comfortable feel without stickiness even when you sweat. Socks that fuse Japanese tradition with the Expo's "ID" design element are now available. The "ID," representing the individual's life, and "Lives," the state of the original cell of that life, are embroidered on the socks. The three colors each represent the scenes of Inochi (Life), Umi (Sea), and Noyama (Field/Mountains).
