A type of sugegasa (a straw hat). It was so named because it was first used by Sandohikyaku (three-way couriers) around the time of the Jokyo era (1684-88). It is shaped like a bun and is designed to cover the face deeply, which is said to prevent injury to the face if one falls off a horse, and to protect against the winds of the four seasons. Before the Bunka era (1804-18), it was mainly used by traveling merchants as a hat for travel, but after that it gradually fell out of use, and mortar-shaped sugegasa came to be used, with Sandohikyaku only being used by the chief courier.

菅笠(すげがさ)の一種。貞享(じょうきょう)(1684~88)のころに三度飛脚が用い始めたのでこの名がある。饅頭(まんじゅう)形で深く顔を隠すようにつくられたもので、これは落馬したときに顔を傷つけないようにとも、四季の風を防ぐためともいわれる。文化(ぶんか)年間(1804~18)以前は、おもに旅商人が道中笠として盛んにこれを用いたが、以後しだいに廃れ、擂鉢(すりばち)形の菅笠を用いるようになり、三度笠は飛脚宰領が用いるだけとなった。 [片岸博子] [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 |
