Shun Tung - Shan Tang (English spelling)

Japanese: シャンタン - しゃんたん(英語表記)shun tung
Shun Tung - Shan Tang (English spelling)

A fabric made with tussah silk threads for the warp and knotty tussah silk threads for the weft, resulting in irregular knots on the woven surface. The name shantung comes from the Chinese word Shandong, and Shandong Province in China is a producer of tussah silk. It is imported in large quantities to Japan and woven in the Fukui and Gifu regions. However, nowadays, instead of tussah silk, it is possible to use raw silk for the warp and dupion silk for the weft, and even cotton and synthetic fabrics have appeared. It is generally dyed plain and printed to give it a rustic texture. It is used for women's clothing, blouses, shirts, etc.

Japanese:

経糸(たていと)に柞蚕糸(さくさんし)、緯糸(よこいと)に節のある柞蚕糸を用い、織面に不規則な節を出した織物。シャンタンとは中国語の山東からきたもので、中国の山東省は柞蚕糸の産地であり、日本へ多量に輸入され、福井・岐阜地方で織物に生産されてきた。しかし現在では、柞蚕糸のかわりに、経糸に生糸、緯糸に玉糸を使ったものができ、さらに綿・化合繊のものも現れるに至った。一般に無地染め、捺染(なっせん)などの加工が施され、野趣のある風合いに仕上げられる。婦人服、ブラウス、シャツ地などに使用される。
