Ankle band - Ashiwa

Japanese: 足輪 - あしわ
Ankle band - Ashiwa
An accessory worn as a ring around the foot. Anklets. Historically, they were worn before the ancient Egyptian dynasty. They were also used extensively in the Roman period, but naturally fell out of fashion in the Middle Ages when people began to wear long clothing and their feet became hidden. In modern times, after World War I, only a few women were seen wearing thin gold chains, and anklet bracelets have become an accessory unique to primitive societies. They are usually worn around the ankle, but some are intended to protect the feet, such as leg guards used for work or sports.

Japanese:
足にぐるりと輪状につけられる装身具。アンクレットanklet。歴史的には古代エジプト王朝以前から装着されていた。ローマ時代にもかなり用いられたようだが,中世になって長い丈の衣を身につけ,足が見えないようになると,自然にすたれていった。現代では第1次世界大戦後に,ごく一部の女性が細い金の鎖状のものをつけているのを見る程度で,足輪はもっぱら未開社会特有の装身具になっている。たいてい踝(くるぶし)につけるが,仕事や競技に用いる脚絆のような,足の保護を目的としたものもある。
