Akomeginu

Japanese: あこめぎぬ

…(1) The kimono is a garment that has been worn since ancient times in China (Zuo Zhuan, 9th year of Duke Xuan, Book of the Later Han, Biography of Nie Heng). It was used as everyday clothing (Shuowen) and as undergarment for close clothing. In Japan, it is called akomeginu or akome (Wamyosho), and appeared in the dynasty period with a considerable change from the Tang style. It was worn under the sokutai, ikan, noshi, kariginu, etc., and was worn under the shigasane and under the hitoe. …

From [Clothing]

…In addition to being a general term for clothing, it can also refer to undergarments worn under formal attire (noushi) or hunting attire (kariginu). In ancient times, silk was called kinu, and clothing was also called kinu, but in the case of clothing, there are many examples in later times of the name being given to the material's geological properties or the processing process. For example, choken (long silk) and suikan (water-dried silk). Therefore, in ancient Japan, there were two words for clothing, kinu and koromo, and it is thought that kinu was created later than koromo, and that it referred to a more luxurious item of clothing in terms of both shape and quality. …

…(1)衵は中国で古代から着用されていた衣服で(《左伝》宣公9年，《後漢書》禰衡伝)，日々の常衣とするもの(説文)，近身衣の肌着であった。日本では〈あこめぎぬ〉または〈あこめ〉とよび(《和名抄》)，唐風の様式からかなり変化して王朝時代に現れた。束帯，衣冠，直衣（のうし），狩衣などの下に用いられ，下襲（したがさね）の下，単（ひとえ）の上の間に着たものであった。…

【衣】より

…衣服一般の名称のほか，とくに直衣（のうし）や狩衣（かりぎぬ）の下着をいう場合がある。古来，絹を〈きぬ〉とよみ，また衣をも〈きぬ〉と称したが，衣服の場合，その地質の名称や加工の過程が衣の名称になることは後世にもその例が多い。たとえば長絹（ちようけん），水干（すいかん）などがそれである。したがって上古の日本には衣服をあらわす言葉に〈きぬ〉と〈ころも〉との二つがあり，〈きぬ〉のほうが〈ころも〉より後にできたものと考えられ，形･質ともにより高級服飾品をいう感じがあった。…
