Stockings - Shitouzu

Japanese: 襪 - しとうず
Stockings - Shitouzu

A corrupted form of "shitagutsu" (socks). Since ancient times, it has been used by the nobility when wearing footwear. Unlike tabi (socks), it does not separate the big toe, and is fastened with two strings sewn to the back, with a seam running down the center of the instep and sole. The Yoro Clothing Order stipulated that Nishiki trousers be worn as formal attire, and white trousers as morning attire. For other types of clothing, it was permitted for Shukutoku (elderly men of high virtue) but generally forbidden.
