Stained glass

Japanese: ステンド・グラス(英語表記)stained glass
Stained glass
This is a type of glass made by cutting colorful glass into various sizes, fitting them into a lead frame, and welding them together. It is also called picture glass. The lead frame forms the black outline of the design, and it expresses decorative or religious themes. Stained glass, which is set into a window frame, has a long history, and it is thought that the technique came from the Orient region along the Mediterranean coast, where glass had been produced since ancient times. It is also known that stained glass was used in Europe as early as the 1st century, based on fragments excavated in Pompeii, Herculaneum, Alesia, Strasbourg, and Trier.

Japanese:
多彩色のガラスを種々の大きさに切り,それらを鉛の枠にはめ込み溶接したもの。絵ガラスともいう。鉛の枠が図柄の黒い輪郭線になり,装飾や宗教的主題が表現される。いわゆる窓枠にはめられたステンド・グラスの歴史は古く,その手法は,古くからガラスが製作されていた地中海沿岸のオリエント地方からきたものと推測されている。また,ポンペイ,ヘラクラネウム,アレジア,ストラスブール,トリールなどで発掘された断片により,ヨーロッパでも1世紀以来ステンド・グラスが使用されていたことが知られている。
