Carpet - Rug

Japanese: 絨毯 - じゅうたん

A general term for felt and rugs made of wool or cloth. Also called rugs. Generally, a roll of one tan is called a carpet, and a single piece is called a rug or dantsu. Hand-woven carpets have been made in Western and Central Asia since ancient times. In addition to the warp and weft threads that make up the fabric, threads of a different color are tied to the warp threads one by one. The ends are cut off and raised into nap to create patterns. Most carpets are made from wool, but silk is used for high-quality Persian carpets. Nabeshima dantsu in Japan is a cotton product. Since the 19th century, machine-made carpets have become mainstream in developed countries, and the most common are the Brussels carpet, which has a pile weave on the surface, and the Wilton carpet, which has the pile weave cut off and made into a nap-like shape. Recently, carpets have been made in which the fibers are arranged by machine and attached to the base fabric with adhesive.

Japanese:

毛氈(もうせん)や，毛織物・布による敷物の総称。絨緞とも。一般に一反巻をカーペット，一枚ものをラッグあるいは緞通(だんつう)という。古くから西アジアや中央アジアでは手織りの絨毯が作られてきた。生地となる経(たて)糸と緯(よこ)糸のほかに，別の色糸を用いて経糸に一目一目結びつける。その先端を切ってけば状に立毛し文様を織り出す。ほとんどが羊毛で作られるが，ペルシア絨毯の高級品には絹が使われる。日本の鍋島緞通などは綿製品である。19世紀以後，先進諸国では機械製が主流となり，表面をパイル織にしたブラッセル・カーペット，その輪奈(わな)を切り離し起毛状の形にしたウィルトン・カーペットが代表的。最近は繊維を機械で配列し接着剤で基布に付着させるものなども作られている。
