Tabi (足袋)
are traditional Japanese socks. Ankle high and with a separation between the big toe and other toes, they are worn by both men and women with zori, geta, and other traditional thonged footwear. Tabi are also essential with traditional clothing—kimono and other wafuku. The most common colour is white, and white tabi are worn in formal situations such as at tea ceremonies.

Toe socks
are socks that have been knitted so that each toe is individually encased the same way that fingers are individually encased in a glove.
All sock lengths are available as toe socks, from anklet and ankle socks through to knee-high and over-knee socks. They are also available with rubber soles.
Toe socks came into popularity in the 1970s and made a comeback in the 1990s as a novelty item worn by adolescents. These later socks are usually almost knee high, striped, and sometimes worn with flip-flops to make a fashion statement.

Koo　お香　＜＞ Incense and Daruma


These small bags are filled with fragrant wood chips, clover chips or dried flowers or other fragrant items. You can put them in the sleve of a kimono to smell well or in your handbag. They are made from colorful brocade and come with a string to hang them.
Many traditional housewifes use three of them in each box with their kimonos, as preservatives to keep off the insects. When you wear a traditional Kimono, you usually do not use Western perfume, but the smell from the sachet is enough to make the kimono smell. You can also wear one more in the sleeve or hang it from the belt.


In Kyoto there is a special traditional shop 石黒香舗 Ishiguro Koohoo selling only these bags. You can choose your own pattern and the owner will fill it with a choice of your favorite fragrance. Usually 10 different ingredients are mixed in one sachet.
If you hang a bag on your handy, you can smell while you talk.

quote
Furoshiki (風呂敷)
are a type of traditional Japanese wrapping cloth that were frequently used to transport clothes, gifts, or other goods. Although possibly dating back as far as the Nara period, the name, meaning "bath spread", derives from the Edo period practice of using them to bundle clothes while at the sentō (public baths;public furo).
Before becoming associated with public baths, furoshiki was known as hirazutsumi (平包), or flat folded bundle. Eventually, the furoshiki's usage extended to serve as a means for merchants to transport their wares or to protect and decorate a gift.

Modern furoshiki can be made of a variety of cloths, including silk, chirimen, cotton, rayon, and nylon. Furoshiki are often decorated with traditional designs or by shibori. There is no one set size for furoshiki, they can range from hand sized to larger than bed-sheets. The most common sizes are 45cm (17.7 inch) and 68-72cm (26.7-28.3 inch).

Although there are still furoshiki users in Japan, their numbers declined in the post-war period, in large part due to the proliferation of the plastic shopping bag. In recent years, it has seen a renewed interest as environmental protection became a concern. Furoshiki are, however, commonly used to wrap and transport lunch boxes (bento) and often double as a table mat for the lunch.

On March 6, 2006, the Japanese Minister of the Environment, Yuriko Koike, created a furoshiki cloth to promote its use in the modern world.

Tonbodama, tombodama

They are beads from glass.

Reference

English Reference : Tombodama


Glass beads are usually categorized by the method used to manipulate the glass. Most beads fall into three main categories: wound beads, drawn beads, and molded beads. There are composites, such as millefiori beads, where cross-sections of a drawn glass cane are applied to a wound glass core. A very minor industry in blown glass beads also existed in 19th century Venice and France.
