@mypeaceneed: A Little Bit of Japan I Brought Home With Me! 🇯🇵❤️ One of the coolest things I noticed while traveling through Japan was the traditional tabi footwear. From split-toe socks worn with wooden sandals to slippers and Mary Jane-style shoes, I was fascinated! At first, I wasn’t sure I could stand having something between my toes. And yes, it feels a little awkward! Believe it or not, they even make special socks to wear with them. 🇯🇵 And here’s a fun little piece of history! Tabi footwear has been part of Japanese culture for centuries, originally designed with split toes to accommodate traditional sandals. In the early 1900s, Japanese businessman Shōjirō Ishibashi helped popularize rubber-soled tabi work shoes. Interestingly, he later founded Bridgestone Tire Company in 1931! Who knew shoes and tires had such a connection? 😂 Today, tabi have evolved into a fashion statement, including the Mary Jane style I’m wearing! I’ve always loved bringing souvenirs home from my travels. But lately, I’ve been thinking that maybe the greatest souvenirs aren’t things at all. Maybe they’re the experiences, the people we meet, the cultures we discover, and the little pieces of ourselves we find along the way. Maybe we never really come home quite the same. And this version of me? She’s going to rock the tabis! 🐦‍⬛❤️ #japan #tabishoes #reikiwithrobin #palmistry #peaceneed Peaceneed.As.Me Peaceneed.com 🐦‍⬛
