Tipi (English spelling)

Japanese: ティピ(英語表記)tipi
Tipi (English spelling)
A cone-shaped tent used as a dwelling by the Plains Indians of North America. Also spelled tepee. The Great Plains is a vast area stretching from the Mississippi River to the Rocky Mountains, where many tribes, including the Blackfoot, lived, but they all shared the common practice of hunting in groups by following herds of bison. A tipi is made with three or four pine or fir trees as its axis, with additional wood added to create a cone-shaped frame. A weight is lowered from the top to secure the frame. Bison hide is wrapped around the frame and secured with pins.

Japanese:
北アメリカの平原インディアンが住居として用いた円錐形テント。tepeeとも書く。大平原はミシシッピ川からロッキー山脈におよぶ広大な地域で,ブラックフット族をはじめ多くの部族が生活していたが,野牛(バイソン)の群れを追って集団狩猟をしていた点は共通している。ティピは松かモミの木3~4本を軸にし,補助の材を加えて円錐形の骨組みを作る。これに頂部からおもりをおろして固定する。骨組みに野牛の皮をまきつけ,ピンでしっかりとめる。
