Japanese traditional tabi socks. Truly unique socks with the big toe separated from other toes. Such a design was invented in the 15th century to fit Japanese folk shoes called “zori” and “geta”.
The length of modern tabi can be different – from traditional ankle-length socks to contemporary split-toe stockings.

Nice example of 19th-century black lacquered jingasa (Japanese traditional hat) on the left. It's in really excellent condition. On the right, Ichimon jingasa that was primarily worn to protect from sun and rain.

Japanese samurai jingasa hat – traditional headdress. It can be made from paper, iron, copper, bamboo, wood, or leather. Here are a few examples of various jingasa from the 2010 “Return of the Samurai” exhibit from the Art Gallery of Greater Victoria.
