Mosen (Felt) - Mosen

Japanese: もうせん(毛氈) - もうせん
Mosen (Felt) - Mosen
Same as felt. "氈" means a carpet, and originally, moss referred to a carpet made of hair in general, but today it refers to a non-woven cloth made by applying moisture, heat, pressure, friction, etc. to animal hair to shrink it. It is thought to have been used from very ancient times by northern peoples and nomadic peoples, and horseback covers, ornaments, and carpets with beautiful patterns have been found in the tombs of Pazyryk in southern Siberia from the 5th to 4th century BC, and various items with embroidery on felt fabric have been found in the Western Han tombs of Noin-Ula in Mongolia.

Japanese:
フェルトに同じ。〈氈〉は敷物の意味で,元来,毛氈は毛の敷物一般を指すものであるが,今日ではいわゆる絨毯(じゆうたん)(カーペット)のような織物状のものは除き,獣毛に湿気,温度,圧力,摩擦などを加えて縮絨させ,無織のまま布状としたものをいう。北方民族,また遊牧民族の間では非常に古い時代から使用されていたと考えられ,南シベリアの前5~前4世紀のパジリクの墳墓からはみごとな文様を施した馬の背覆いや装飾品,敷物などが,またモンゴル国のノイン・ウラの前漢墓からはフェルト地に刺繡をあしらった各種のものが発見されている。
