Nishiguchi Kutsushita is one of three brand names produced and sold by Knitwin, a family owned sock manufacturing company in Nara, Japan.

Knitwin was founded by Katsuji Nishiguchi in 1950 with just one hand-operated knitting machine. Now operating under third generation director Isato Nishiguchi, Knitwin has evolved and expanded into a sock manufacturing company housing over 130 knitting machines. Their team consists of industry veterans with over 50 years of experience, as well as new generation talents in their 30s.

Their mission is "making your day extraordinary," which they accomplish with their incredible attention to every detail of their socks, from design to materials to manufacturing. They make the best socks I have ever owned, and I'm a big sock nerd.
