Platok (English spelling)

Japanese: プラトーク(英語表記)platok
Platok (English spelling)
A Russian ethnic headgear for women, worn in any season. It is usually a square piece of cloth or knitted fabric worn on the head, over the shoulders, or wrapped around the neck. Bright floral patterns in primary colors are popular. Although it is an ethnic headgear, it was only after the mid-19th century, when mass production by machine began, that it became widely used. Since then, it has come to be widely used among the general public, including farmers and merchants, replacing traditional headgear. While the platok was worn casually on a daily basis by the general public, it was also used as a dowry or reward for matchmakers at weddings, and for brides, it was a symbol of farewell to their girlhood, and was to be thrown away on the way to the wedding or left at their parents' home.

Japanese:
ロシアの民族的な女性用被り物で,季節を問わず用いられる。ふつうは四角い布切れ,またはニット地で,頭に被るほか,肩にかけたり,首に巻いたりする。原色の華やかな花柄が多く好まれる。民族的な被り物とはいっても,広く使用されるのは機械による大量生産が開始された19世紀半ば以降のことである。その時期以降,伝統的な被り物にかわって,農民,商人など広く一般庶民の間に流布するようになった。プラトークは一般庶民によって日常的に気楽に用いられた反面,結婚の結納品や仲人への報酬としても用いられたし,花嫁にとっては娘時代との別れを象徴するものとして,婚礼へ向かう道で投げ捨てたり,実家に残していくべきものであった。
