Based on the design of "tube socks" made in the USA in the late 70s, these ribbed socks from ROTOTO are produced on an old, special knitting machine that is hard to find nowadays, using soft, low-tension cotton yarns. The inside of the sole part is brushed for a unique fleece-like feel, characteristic of the Japanese brand.

ROTOTO socks are manufactured in Japan's largest producing region, Nara Prefecture. The area is known for its quality textiles since the 17th century. Industrial production of socks was first introduced in 1910, when a man from the former village of Umami (now Koryocho) brought a weaving machine from the United States to his hometown following a study trip to the country.

ROTOTO places great value on collaboration in its product research: "We start by selecting the right yarns with craftsmen to develop the design of a new material. After that, we choose the knitting machines based on the type of material and the intended use of the product. This can be rare machines with a specific use, old non-computerized knitting machines, or alternatively, modern high-tech tools.

ROTOTO socks can only be made by combining the right materials, the right machine, and the artisan's expertise.

"Preserving the tradition inherited from previous generations, while painting the future with a fresh outlook. We will continue to strive to produce things that can only be created here."
