Err...
I don`t think it is Japan that is saying that they think this way - it`s the specific place where you read that. My husband will fold laundry and sit socks on the table to sort them... And the other clothes up on other furniture as they are folded to get them out of the way.
Are you sure it wasn`t about socks while still on feet? Because I know a LOT of people outside Japan who think it`s perfectly okay to stick their socked feet up on the table. (Not a dining table with chairs - think the low tables people sit around on the floor to eat) These same people wouldn`t do it with bare feet or with shoes on, but seem to have no qualms if they have socks on. I would guess that is what the passage is about.
