A clothing accessory used to protect the shins and to finish the hems of hakama (Japanese trousers). Since ancient times, samurai made shin guards from fibers taken from the stems of the mallow plant, which were called ichibi habaki. Commoners, especially in rural areas, made shin guards from rice straw. After the Muromachi period, gaiters appeared and they became the same thing with different names, but as gaiters began to be made from cloth, the distinction between the two became clear. In rural areas, they were used when walking in the snow or rain, or for working in muddy fields, but their use is gradually declining.

足のすねを保護したり、袴(はかま)を着用した際に、裾(すそ)を始末するために用いる服飾品。古くから武士が、アオイ科のイチビの茎からとった繊維で臑当(すねあて)(脛当)をつくり、これをイチビはばきとよんでいた。また庶民、ことに農村では稲藁(わら)でつくって脛巾とした。室町時代以降脚絆(きゃはん)が現れて異名同物となったが、脚絆は布地でつくられるようになり、両者の区別が判然としてきた。農村では雪や雨のなかを歩く際、あるいは泥田の仕事用に用いられたが、その利用もしだいに減ってきている。 [遠藤 武] 稲藁でつくった脛巾と手甲をつけた水かね掘り(水銀採取職人)。『職人歌合画本』 1838年(天保9)刊国立国会図書館所蔵"> 江戸時代の脛巾 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 |
