Western-style gaiters. They were originally used by army personnel, but later came to be used instead of gaiters by youth corps, mountaineers, and supervisors at construction sites. The reason is that they are more flexible and convenient than gaiters, depending on how they are wrapped. They also became popular in the early Showa period when military training began to be held in junior high schools and universities, and after the Manchurian Incident (1931-32) they spread to ordinary households and became a necessity in the lives of men. Gaiters are long, belt-like products made of black cotton, navy cotton, or khaki-colored woolen cloth, with one end folded into a triangle and fastened with a flat string of the same color at the top. They are wrapped around the lower part of the leg, and the flat string is wrapped around the knee joint two or three times to keep them from slipping down. After the war, they are hardly used by the general public. [Takeshi Endo] [Reference] |Source: Shogakukan Encyclopedia Nipponica About Encyclopedia Nipponica Information | Legend |
西洋式の巻脚絆(まききゃはん)のこと。陸軍軍人が用いたものであるが、のちには青年団、登山家、土工などの作業場の監督者などが脚絆のかわりに用いた。その理由は、巻き方によって脚絆より自由で便利なためである。また、昭和初期、軍事教練が中学や大学で行われるようになって普及し、満州事変(1931~32)後は一般家庭にも普及、男子の生活必需品となった。ゲートルは黒木綿、紺木綿あるいはカーキ色の帯状の長い羅紗(らしゃ)製品で、一端を三角に折って留め、その頂点に同色の平紐(ひも)をつけて、脚の下部から巻いていき、膝(ひざ)関節の近くで平紐を2、3回巻いて、ずり落ちないように留めるのである。戦後は、一般大衆の間でもほとんど利用されていない。 [遠藤 武] [参照項目] |出典 小学館 日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)について 情報 | 凡例 |
