Originally, it was an outer garment worn by the indigenous people of the Andes Mountains in South America. It is a head-covering garment with a hole in the center of the fabric through which the head can pass, and is one of the basic forms of clothing. Originally, it was the name of a brightly colored fabric woven from hemp and llama hair, but it is said that the name was mistakenly conveyed by the Spanish as the type of clothing made from this fabric, and came to refer to the type of clothing. It can be worn as an outer garment with the head sticking out of the hole in the center, or used as a blanket as is. Today, it is popular worldwide as outerwear to protect against the cold, a raincoat, etc. [Akiko Fukai] Source: Shogakukan Encyclopedia Nipponica About Encyclopedia Nipponica Information | Legend |
元来は、南アメリカ、アンデス山地の先住民が着用していた外衣。布の中央に頭の通る穴をあけた貫頭衣で、衣服の基本形の一つ。本来は、麻とラマの毛で織った鮮明な色彩の織物の名称であったが、スペイン人によって、この布で仕立てられた衣服の形として誤り伝えられ、服形をさすようになったといわれる。中央の穴に頭を出して外衣として着用したり、そのまま毛布として用いたりする。現在では世界的に、防寒用外衣、レインコートなどとして親しまれている。 [深井晃子] 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 |
