Uchiginu - Uchiginu

Japanese: 打衣 - うちぎぬ
Uchiginu - Uchiginu

A type of clothing worn by nobles. It refers to uchiki made of twill or plain silk sewn with a kinuta (a traditional Japanese kimono). After the Kamakura period, twill sewn by board-pulling was used instead of sewn with a kinuta (a traditional Japanese kimono). Board-pulling is a stiff, shiny method of pasting in which a lacquered board is polished with wax and walnut oil, then pasted with paste, dried, and then peeled off. Uchigi is worn on sunny days, but in the court costume (twelve-layered kimono), the uchigi is worn under the outer garment and over the layered uchiki, but in the late Edo period, it was sometimes worn under the layered uchiki and over the hitoe. In men's costume, it was worn under the noshi or kariginu. In the early modern period, the uchigi (cloth worn by adults) was crimson twill, while for youth it was dark-colored (a deep shade of purple).

Japanese:

公家(くげ)の衣服の一種。砧(きぬた)で打ってつやを出した綾(あや)や平絹で仕立てた袿(うちき)のこと。鎌倉時代以降は砧で打つかわりに板引きにした綾を用いるようになった。板引きとは、漆塗りの板に蝋(ろう)とクルミの油を塗って磨き、そこに糊(のり)を引いて生地を張り乾燥してから引きはがす、こわばった、光沢のある糊付けのことである。打衣は晴(はれ)の日に用いられるが、女房装束(十二単(ひとえ))における打衣は表着の下、襲(かさ)ねの袿の上に重ねて着られるが、江戸時代後期には、重ねの袿の下、単の上に襲(かさ)ねて着られる例もあった。男子の装束では、直衣(のうし)や狩衣(かりぎぬ)の下に着用された。近世の打衣は、成年に紅(くれない)の綾、若年には濃色(こきいろ)(紫の濃い色)を用いた。
