The socks from Tokyo-based Chup are limited edition (seriously, the company makes only a handful of pairs each day) with intricate patterns inspired by folk art and the spirit world. Chup, an acronym for "Classical Human's Universal Peace," refers to the sun, the moon and the stars in the sky, all of which the Ainu (Japan's native people) worshipped. Cotton/acrylic/nylon/poly. Machine wash. Made in Japan.
