Work gloves

Japanese: 軍手 - ぐんて
Work gloves

A type of glove. An abbreviation for military gloves. In modern times, they have become popular and are used for practical purposes such as labor and mountain climbing. They are made of plain white knitted cotton and, like military gloves, can be worn on both the left and right sides, making them versatile. The oldest surviving pair of gloves in this style were used by Mitsui Hachiroemon I during the Genroku period (1688-1704). They are characterized by a diamond pattern woven into the upper part of the glove.

Japanese:

手袋の一種。軍用手袋の略称。現代では大衆化して、労働、登山などに使用される実用品である。木綿の白無地のメリヤス編み製品で、軍足とともに左右表裏の別なく使用されるところから利用範囲は広い。こうした形式で現存する最古のものは、元禄(げんろく)時代(1688~1704)の初代三井八郎右衛門(はちろうえもん)所用のものである。これは甲にあたる部分に菱形(ひしがた)の模様が編み出されているのが特色である。
