Today I picked up a new pair of 24cm tabi from Marukai
in preparation for my return to Okinawan dance classes.
There was a good selection of different types of tabi, but I just needed a basic pair with hook fasteners in the back. There were the “Made in Japan” ones and the “Made in China” variety. As you would expect, the tabi made in Japan were double the price of its Chinese counterparts. I opted for the cheaper pair. I wonder if I’ll notice the difference?
