Paisley (English spelling)

Japanese: ペーズリー（英語表記）Paisley
Paisley (English spelling)
Renfrewshire is the administrative capital of the county of Renfrewshire in the mid-west of Scotland. It is located about 10 km west of Glasgow and faces the White Cart, a tributary of the River Clyde. The town was founded around a monastery founded in the 12th century, and in the 18th century it became an industrial city centered on textiles, with linen production thriving. From the 19th century onwards, cotton spinning took over from linen, and the town developed into a global centre for cotton yarn production. Today, other industries and services include machinery, chemicals, food, microelectronics and computer systems. In the early 19th century, the town became famous for its paisley shawls, which were produced as imitations of Indian cashmere shawls. Although this patterned woolen fabric is no longer produced today, its unique pattern is widely used as a paisley pattern in Western clothing and other textiles. Population: 72,970 (2004 estimate).

Paisley
paisely

A complex and colorful classical Indian design imitating the shapes of pine cones, mangoes, and reeds, and textiles featuring this design. When cashmere shawls brought from India became popular in Europe in the early 19th century, high-quality soft woolen fabric incorporating this design was produced in Paisley, a city in southwestern Scotland, and became a huge hit as paisley shawls, hence the name. Modern arrangements have been made, such as scattering small flowers or using bright dyes, and the pattern has remained popular ever since.

イギリス，スコットランド中西部，レンフルーシャーの行政府所在地。グラスゴーの西約 10kmにあり，クライド川支流ホワイトカート川に臨む。12世紀創建の修道院を中心に形成された町で，18世紀には織物業を中心とする工業都市となり，リンネル製造が盛んであった。19世紀以降はリンネルに代わって綿紡績が中心となり，世界的な綿糸製造の中心地に発展。今日ではほかに機械，化学，食品，マイクロエレクトロニクス，コンピュータ・システムなどの工業やサービス業が行なわれる。19世紀初めにはインド製のカシミア織ショールの模造品として生産されたペーズリー・ショールでも有名となった。この紋織の毛織物は今日では生産されていないが，その独特の紋様はペーズリー模様として洋服地などの織物に広く利用されている。人口 7万2970（2004推計）。

松笠またはマンゴーの果実，糸すぎなどの形を模した複雑で多彩なインドの古典的図柄，およびその図柄を施した織物。 19世紀初めにヨーロッパで，インドからもたらされたカシミア織ショールが流行した際，この図柄を取入れた良質の柔らかい毛織物が，スコットランド南西部の都市ペーズリーで生産され，ペーズリー・ショールとして大流行となったことから，この名が起った。小花を散らしたり，明るい染色を施すなどの現代的なアレンジがなされ，根強い人気を保つ柄となっている。
