Huarache (English spelling)

Japanese: ワラッチェ(英語表記)huarache
Huarache (English spelling)
Footwear worn by the indigenous people of Mexico. The exact etymology of this word is unknown, but the most likely theory is that it originated from the Tarascan language of western Mexico. There is also a popular belief among Japanese people that it originates from the Japanese word "waraji." Today, huaraches used by Mexican farmers are made with rubber cut from old tires and other materials for the sole, covered with leather, and are a combination of straw sandals and sandals. Footwear seen in stone carvings from the pre-Hispanic period is diverse in both shape and decoration. [Ooi Kuniaki]

Japanese:
メキシコ原住民の履物。この語の正確な語源は不明だが,メキシコ西部のタラスコ語起源という説が有力。また,日本語の〈わらじ〉を起源とするという,日本人の間の俗説もある。現在,メキシコの農民が使用するワラッチェは,古タイヤなどから切りとったゴムを底に使い,それに皮革を張って作られ,わらじとサンダルを合わせたような形である。先スペイン期の石彫にみる履物は,形も装飾もバラエティに富んでいる。【大井 邦明】
