why are there quite a number of characters who only wear socks? And they are all white too

when you're able to fly and float at will like most Touhous, shoes become irrelevant

Even though there is no need for shoes, they keep the socks on.
The only character to be seen with no shoes on is the first boss of MOF.
Though maybe from that I can see WHY ZUN doesn't draw feet lol

According to the wikia, it likens her to the japanese style of a one-legged scarecrow. The word for it is also similar to their word for smelling, which might have something to do with why her smell is mentioned before the fight.

>> No.6835646

The karakasa (Kogasa) is also supposed to be one-legged and one-eyed by myth, but he still managed to make a loli out of it by making her an umbrella (with a big eye and one shoe).

The yatagarasu's third leg is also symbolized by Utsuho's control rod arm. He puts more thought into character design than people give credit for.

Nope, personally I don't get the foot fetish appeal.
I just noticed that a lot of characters will just wear white socks and no shoes. It stands out after a while

>> No.6835726

but according to some people, Tewi's feet is actually a deep character design purposively drawn by ZUN.
He takes a lot from Japanese Mythology you know
