Ekaki socks
Ekaki translates roughly as 'one who draws' in Japanese - a fitting name for a sock series built around illustration. Each of the 22 designs in this collection features hand-drawn-style artwork depicting scenes from Japanese everyday life: street food stalls, temple cats, seasonal flowers, commuter trains, fishing villages. The style is loose and expressive rather than geometric or structured, which sets Ekaki apart from the other series in our Japanese design range.
The collection appeals to people who want something with a bit of narrative in it - a sock you can look at and find something new each time. All pairs are imported directly from Japan and printed using reactive techniques that keep the linework clean and the colors honest through repeated washing. Ekaki sits within our broader Japanese design collection alongside the more pattern-driven Kaya and Wa series - worth exploring if you like the illustrative approach but want to see the full range.
