English: Even in the case of the Army Cadet School or the Naval Academy which teenage boys entered (the former at thirteen years old, and the latter at seventeen years old), once a boy entered them, the staff directed him to send back all his personal belongings including undergarments to his home in order to exclude "yearning for the outside world", and provided the new student with white Ecchu fundoshi as undergarments.
Japanese: 十代の少年が入校する陸軍幼年学校（13歳）や海軍兵学校（17歳）でさえ、入校したら、「娑婆っ気」を排斥する目的で、下着を含めて一切の私物は自宅に送り返すように指導し、入校者に下着として白い越中褌を支給した。
English: Because it was required to reject each personality and maintain discipline by unifying not only the uniforms but also the undergarments in the armed forces' organization.
Japanese: 軍隊組織において、制服を始めとして、下着まで統一することで個性を否定して規律を維持する必要があったからである。
English: The conscription system that was introduced by the Meiji government involved an aim, along with the compulsory education, to standardizethe lifestyle and the language of the nation to make the country rich and strong.
Japanese: 明治政府が徴兵制度を導入したのは、義務教育と並び、国民の生活様式や言語を標準化させて富国強兵策を遂行する目的を担っていた。
English: It can be guessed that Ecchu fundoshi were adopted as articles supplied at official expense because they were easier to put on and take off and they were economical for being made from less cloth than Rokushaku fundoshi.
Japanese: 越中褌は六尺褌と比較して着脱が容易で生地も少ない経済性が官給品として軍隊で採用されたものと推測される。
English: Until the end of the war, taking an examination to be drafted was regarded as a proof of becoming an adult man in the society, and people were encouraged to wear fundoshi at the examination (the regulations for physical examination of the army); and thus this helped Ecchu fundoshi to spread across the country, reminding people a 'fundoshi iwai', a rite to wear fundoshi as an adult man.
Japanese: 戦前までは徴兵検査を受けることで「成人男子に達した証」と社会的に認知されるようになっており、徴兵検査（陸軍身体検査規則）で褌の着用を指導していたことも、疑似「褌祝」として成人男子に越中褌が普及した背景があった。
English: Article 23, Item 7 of "the regulations for physical examination of the army" (March 26, 1928, Ordinance No. 9 of Ministry of Army/the third year of the Showa era [1928], No.15) is described as follows.
Japanese: 「陸軍身体検査規則」（1928年3月26日陸軍省令第9号／昭和3年第15号）第二十三条七号に以下のように記述されている。
English: To examine the pubic region, make an examinee take off his fundoshi, make him stand with legs apart and facing the examiner, inspect the groin, the penis, the scrotum, the spermatic cord, the testicles, and the epididymis for their abnormalities, check whether it is hard to pass urine or not and whether there is enuresis or not, and if necessary, make him pass urine and test the properties of the urine.
Japanese: 陰部ノ検査ハ受検者ヲシテ脱褌セシメ両脚ヲ開キ検者ニ正面シテ立タシメ鼠蹊部、陰茎、陰嚢、精系、睾丸及副睾丸ノ異常ノ有無ヲ検査シ排尿ノ難易、遺尿ノ有無ヲ検シ必要アルトキハ排尿セシメテ尿ノ性状ヲ検査ス
English: After the war, fundoshi came to be looked upon negatively as an existence just like a symbol of what the former army left behind, from the antipathy toward having been forced to wear it.
Japanese: 戦後は、褌の着用を強制されていたことでの反発から旧軍隊の遺物の象徴のような存在として否定的なとらえ方をされるようになった。
English: It is said that there are many instances in which the fanciers of Ecchu fundoshi love Ecchu fundoshi because of the unique light feeling of wearing that no other undergarments have.
Japanese: 越中褌の愛好家は他の下着には無い、独特の軽い着装感から愛好している例が多いと言われている。
English: It can be supposed that the support for Ecchu fundoshi gathers because Ecchu fundoshi are the absorbent undergarments which are suitable for the natural features of Japan with the high temperature and high humidity.
Japanese: 高温多湿の日本の風土に合った吸湿性の高い下着として支持が集まるものと推測される。
English: For example, Ecchu fundoshi seem to be utilized by the patients who suffer from atopic dermatitis because a rash can be averted thanks to their looseness and lack of elastic, and by the men who suffer from sterility based on the rumor that because they don't adhere to the body and they breathe well, they are suitable to the natural features of Japan with high temperature and high humidity and good for the body, and that they have the effectiveness to keep the temperature of the testis moderately and increase the number of sperms.
Japanese: ゆったりとしていてゴムがないため、かぶれを回避できるなどの理由からアトピー性皮膚炎を患う患者や、ブリーフのように体に密着せず通気性があることが高温多湿な日本の風土にも合っていて身体に良く、精巣の温度を適度に保ち精子数を増加させる効能もあるらしいとの評判から不妊に悩む男性に利用されているようだ。
English: What is more, Ecchu fundoshi seem to be used habitually not only by the people who suffer from lumbago such as a rupture because they can be put on and taken off without lifting one leg nor bending down, or because undergarments can be exchanged without taking off shoes nor trousers, but also, for the practical purpose, by the people who work outdoors in the summer because they are absorbent, by the people who are restricted about the place or the time to change their clothes, and also by the people who, while working, are obliged to be seated for a long time.
Japanese: また、片足を上げたり、屈んだりせずに着脱ができることや、靴やズボンを脱がずに下着を交換できることから、ヘルニアなどの腰痛に苦しむ人々に加えて、実用面でも、吸湿性が良いことから夏場に野外で作業をする人達や、着替えに場所や時間の制約がある人達の他に長時間着席を余儀なくされる業務を行う人達にも愛用されているようだ。
English: It is called so because the shape with its strings spread horizontally looks like an alphabet 'T'.
Japanese: 紐を拡げた形状がアルファベットの「T」の字に似ていることから呼ばれる。
English: T-jitai are used because, when someone takes care of a patient, they can make it easy to change the undergarments and can relieve the physical load on a patient and a caregiver.
Japanese: 介護の際、下着の交換が容易で、患者や介護者の肉体的負担を減らすことから用いられている。
English: Especially, there are many instances where T-jitai are used by a patient who will undergo a laparotomy or a patient who has received an external injury around the legs or hips.
Japanese: 特に開腹手術を行う患者や、足腰に外傷を負った患者に用いられている例が多い。
English: This type of T-jitai becomes a shape like Mokko fundoshi (literally, earth-basket loincloth), because after putting on in the same way as Ecchu fundoshi over the gauze or pad that protects the diseased part, the parts of the maedare which is split into two will be wound around to the strings on the both sides.
Japanese: 患部を保護するガーゼ、パッドの上から越中褌と同様に装着後、2つに割れた前垂れの部分を両側の紐に巻きつけるので、もっこ褌のような形状になる。
English: There is an opinion that because Mitsukoshi which started up the company's store brand in underwear in 1965 sold Ecchu fundoshi by naming them "Classic Pants" in order to make them create an impression of the high-grade undergarment and for women not to be embarrassed when they buy one on behalf of men, the other department stores and shops have come to call them by the same name.
Japanese: 1965年（昭和40年）に肌着に自社ブランドを立ち上げた三越が、高級感を持たせるためや女性が代理購入する場合でも恥ずかしくないように越中褌を「クラシックパンツ」と命名して販売したため、他の百貨店などでもそう呼ぶようになったとの説がある。
English: It should be noted that the term "Classic Pants" is a Japanese English word (an English word or phrase coined in Japan), and the nearest word for fundoshi in English is loincloth.
Japanese: 因みに、「クラシックパンツ」は和製英語で、英語表記では褌をloinclothと表する。
English: It was reported by the mass media that as fundoshi was featured in a television program "Toribia no izumi" (the fountain of trivia) in 2005, with this as a turning point, at the Mitsukoshi Ginza Store fundoshi sold more than twice the annual sales in two weeks, and the women customers who purchased fundoshi increased prominently.
Japanese: 2005年（平成17年）になってテレビ番組『トリビアの泉』でとりあげられたことがきっかけとなり、銀座三越ではふんどしが2週間で年間売り上げの倍以上が売れたり、買い求める女性客が目立つようになったという報道が流れた。
English: But since the other companies also put fundoshi on the market with the name "Classic Pants", "Classic Pants" is not a registered trademark proper to Mitsukoshi.
Japanese: しかし、「クラシックパンツ」の名称で他社でも市販していることから、「クラシックパンツ」は三越独自の登録商標ではない。
English: Before Mitsukoshi was said to name it a 'Classic Pants' around 1963, the name had already been used in a comic short play by Giant YOSHIDA, a member of Donkey Quartet, a musical band that performed a comic skit.
Japanese: 「クラシックパンツ」の呼称は三越が命名したと言われる以前（1963年（昭和38年）頃）から、コミック・コントを手掛けた音楽バンドのドンキーカルテットが、舞台コント上でメンバーの一人であるジャイアント吉田によって既に取り上げられてもいた。
English: Ecchu fundoshi were also manufactured and sold with the name "Classic Pants" by Angle-Miyuki Co., Ltd. and Ogran Co., Ltd. as well as Mitsukoshi.
Japanese: 「クラシックパンツ」の名称で三越と同様にアングル・ミユキ株式会社やオグラン株式会社でも製造販売を行っている。
English: The products by Angle-Miyuki has more diversified distribution network than Mitsukoshi's, and thus the volume of sales is greater than the one by Mitsukoshi.
Japanese: アングル・ミユキ製の方が三越製よりも流通チャネルが多岐に渡ることから販売量は三越製よりも上回る。
English: So the pants by Angle-Miyuki can be found more easily in the men's section in major department stores across Japan.
Japanese: 全国有名デパートの紳士用品売り場に置かれる「クラシックパンツ」はアングル・ミユキ製の方が多い。
English: The sales of the pants by Angle-Miyuki surpassed the one of Mitsukoshi's (it is estimated that Angle-Miyuki manufactures 10,000 a year, and Mitsukoshi sells 3,000 pants a year).
Japanese: 同社製の販売量は三越製の販売量を凌駕している（アングル・ミユキ製の年間製造量は1万枚に対し三越製の販売量は3千枚と言われている）。
English: Angle-Miyuki Co., Ltd. is a company which changed the company name from Angle Co., Ltd. because Angle Co., Ltd. came under the umbrella of the Miyukikeori group because of its financial difficulties in 2002, and its predecessor started business by beginning to manufacture and sell knitted underwear in 1894.
Japanese: アングル・ミユキ株式会社は2002年（平成14年）にアングル株式会社が経営不振により御幸毛織グループの傘下に入ったことで社名が変更になったものだが、前身は1894年（明治27年）にメリヤス肌着の製造販売を開始したことから始まる。
English: Ecchu fundoshi made by the said company had been sold by the name "Classic Pants" since before Mitsukoshi was said to have named them so, and in those days the name "Classic Pants" had already been printed on the wrapping paper, and therefore, there remains question about the opinion that "Classic Pants" is a name which "Mitsukoshi" gave.
Japanese: 同社製の越中褌は三越が「クラシックパンツ」と命名したと言われる以前から同名で販売しており、その頃既に包装紙に「クラシックパンツ」と記載されていることから、「クラシックパンツ」の名称が「三越」で命名されたとの説には疑問が残る。
English: By the way, the wrapping paper for "Classic Pants" of the said company has been kept the same in its design since the start of the sales.
Japanese: 因みに同社の「クラシックパンツ」の包装紙は販売開始以来同じデザインを続けている。
English: At present, Angle-Miyuki issues a bulk order to manufacture Ecchu fundoshi when it decides the annual production.
Japanese: 現在、アングル・ミユキでは年間生産量を決めると日本国内で一括発注して製造している。
English: "Classic Pants" of the said company sometimes differ in fabric according as the manufacturing year even though they are the same product.
Japanese: 同社の「クラシックパンツ」は同じ製品でも製造年度によっては生地が異なることがある。
English: Because the annual manufacturing number of "Classic Pants" of the said company has held a constant production since the start of sales, that there has been a constant demand for many years can be supposed to be the evidence that new "fundoshi" fanciers have been produced as well as the group of purchasers for replacement.
Japanese: 同社の「クラシックパンツ」の年間製造枚数は販売以来ほぼ一定の生産枚数を保っていることから、年月を経ても一定の需要があることは、買い換え層以外にも新たな「褌」愛好家が生まれている証左であると推測される。
English: Besides, Ogran Co., Ltd. sells Ecchu fundoshi with the name "Classic Pants" as well, and the company is featured with low price, using ribbon strings.
Japanese: また、オグラン株式会社が同様に「クラシックパンツ」の名称で販売しており、リボン紐を用いて廉価なことに特徴がある。
English: In addition to them, there are some companies that also sell fundoshi, not using the name "Classic Pants", but confidently using the exact name, "Fundoshi".
Japanese: このほか、「クラシックパンツ」の名称は用いず、堂々と「褌」の名称を用いて販売している会社もある。
English: Renown Incorporated can be the most notable example, and that sells Ecchu fundoshi wrapped by a cellophane film, on which a large kanji character "褌" (fundoshi) is written in a writing brush font.
Japanese: 株式会社レナウンがその代表で、セロファンの包装紙に毛筆字体で大きく「褌」と記載して販売している。
English: The said company sells Ecchu fundoshi made from coarse-meshed peculiar gauze texture with ribbon strings mainly in Isetan department stores, and in addition to that, recently through a general clothing chain Shimamura Co., Ltd., it sells Ecchu fundoshi made from broadcloth by a brand name "Daikokubashira" (the main column of the house) using cellophane wrapping sheets on which a large Chinese character "褌" (fundoshi) is written in a writing brush calligraphic style.
Japanese: 同社では目の粗い独特のガーゼ地にリボン紐の越中褌を伊勢丹を中心に販売しているのに加え、最近では総合衣料チェーンの株式会社しまむらを通じてブロード地の越中褌を「大黒柱」の商品名で、同じくセロファンの包装紙に毛筆書体で「褌」と記載して販売している。
English: As to the present "Classic Pants" made by Mitsukoshi, because the company which had delivered them to Mitsukoshi withdrew from manufacturing them in 2001, As Corporation took over manufacturing them.
Japanese: 現在の三越製の「クラシックパンツ」は2001年（平成13年）に三越に納品していた業者が製造から撤退したことから、その製造を株式会社アズが引き継いでいる。
English: It is said that many companies rejected this taking over saying, "It will be unprofitable," in the course of business negotiations.
Japanese: この引き継ぎに対して「採算に乗らない」と何社からも断られた経緯があったと言われる。
English: Here is one of the backgrounds of the recent shift from selling the products in various colors, notably in light blue, not to mention the while ones, to selling mainly the patterned products.
Japanese: 以前の製品が定番の白色以外に、ライトブルーを始めとした色物の「クラシックパンツ」の製品販売主体から近年は柄物を主体とした販売に変わった背景がここにある。
English: It can be gathered that this is the reason on the business policy to raise the selling unit price to increase the net sales by creating added value, but on the other hand, it is feared that the regular customers who would purchase the standard white Ecchu fundoshi begin to keep away from the shops, and that "Classic Pants" is likely to end in a quickly passing craze
Japanese: 付加価値を付けることで販売単価を上げて売上高を増やす営業政策上の理由と伺えるが、反面、定番の白い越中褌を買い求める常連客の足が遠のき、「クラシックパンツ」が一過性のブームに終わりそうな懸念がある。
English: In 1997, the Daimaru department store which is near to Tokyo Station once carried out the large-scale exhibition and sale of showy patterned Ecchu fundoshi called "Tokyo Fundoshi Matsuri" (Tokyo fundoshi festival) before Father's Day, but it ended as a past event without taking root.
Japanese: 1997年（平成9年）に東京駅近くにある大丸百貨店が父の日を前に「東京褌祭り」と称して派手な柄物の越中褌の大量展示販売を行ったことがあったが、定着することなく終わった過去があった。
English: Some manufacturers have once sold the products to put on with a hook-and-loop fastener instead of the string parts of Ecchu fundoshi in the past, and named them "Samurai Pants" to sell (samurai is a warrior in and before the Edo period).
Japanese: 一部の業者が、過去に越中褌の紐の部分を面ファスナーに代えて着用する商品を販売したことがあり、「サムライパンツ」の名称で販売していた。
English: By the way, even now there are some manufacturers which sell normal Ecchu fundoshi by the name "Samurai Pants".
Japanese: なお、現在でも「サムライパンツ」の名称で一般の越中褌を販売している業者もある。
English: Since this name is used by more than one manufacturers, it seems this is not a registered trademark of a specific manufacturer.
Japanese: 複数の業者で使用されていることから、特定業者の登録商標ではないようだ。
English: Because Ecchu fundoshi on the market have a tag, which shows the brand of the maker, attached to the waist string part, the purchasers of Ecchu fundoshi on the market are supposed not to mistake the front and back sides of Ecchu fundoshi, unlike the users of the home-sewed Ecchu fundoshi (The front of Ecchu fundoshi is the side on which the turn-ups around the edge of the maedare are inside.)
Japanese: 市販の越中褌には各社のブランドのタグが腰紐部分取付けられているので、市販の越中褌の購入者は自家製の越中褌の利用者と比べて越中褌の表裏を間違えないような仕組みになっている（越中褌は前垂れの端の折り返しが内側にあるものが表となる）。
English: Michiyuki Tabiji no Hanamuko is a dance drama ("shosagoto" in Kabuki terms) performed between the fourth act, "Hangan Seppuku" (a judge's suicide by disembowelment), and the fifth act, "Yamazaki Kaido" (Yamazaki-kaido Road), in the Kabuki play "Kanadehon Chushingura" (The Treasury of Loyal Retainers).
Japanese: 道行旅路の花聟（みちゆきたびじのはなむこ）は、歌舞伎『仮名手本忠臣蔵』の四段目（判官切腹）と五段目（山崎街道）のあいだに挿入される所作事。

English: The eighth act of the original "Kanadehon Chushingura" is a shosagoto called 'Michiyuki Tabiji no Hanayome', which depicts the journey of Honzo KAKOGAWA's wife, Tonase, and her daughter Konami when she was going to get married.
Japanese: 原作『仮名手本忠臣蔵』の八段目は加古川本蔵女房戸無瀬と娘小浪の嫁入り道中を描く所作事「道行旅路の花嫁」である。
English: Michiyuki Tabiji no Hanamuko on the other hand depicts Okaru, who brought the letter which triggered the Judge's sword-wielding misconduct, and Kanpei HAYANO wasn't present at the critical moment as he was on a date with Okaru.
Japanese: それに対して、判官刃傷のきっかけとなる手紙を渡してしまったお軽と、彼女と逢引していたために大事の場に居合わせなかった早野勘平。
English: Unable to face those involved they fled to Okaru's family home, meanwhile the Judge committed seppuku and his family line was legally abolished.
Japanese: 二人が判官の切腹、お家お取潰のさなか、家中の人々に合わせる顔もなく、お軽の実家へと落ちてゆくさまを描いたもの。
English: It is the most well-known piece of Kabuki shosagoto and is one of the most popular recital works chosen for performance by students of music and dance.
Japanese: 歌舞伎所作事の代表的作品として知られ、お浚い会などでも一二を争う人気曲である。
English: Kanpei suggests that they rest for a while, and they begin to talk about their future.
Japanese: 勘平はしばしここで旅の疲れを休めようとお軽に言い、やがて二人は将来のことを語りあう。
English: Kanpei says that he wants to commit suicide by disembowelment because of his increasing sense of a need to apologize.
Japanese: 勘平が武士としての不心得、申しわけなさのあまり、ここで切腹して死にたいと言う。
English: Okaru implores him not to be so impatient and explains that she will be able to support them both and treat him as her husband once they manage to reach her family home.
Japanese: お軽は短気をおこさずともかくも自分の在所までいっしょに落ちのびてくれ、あなたを亭主として充分暮しのたつようにしてみせるとかき口説く。
English: Okaru says that she will not survive if Kanpei kills himself and that people will criticize him for making such an unreasonable suicide pact.
Japanese: このまま腹を切ればわたしも生きておれぬ、それでは人は勘平は不義の心中をしたと言うだろうというお軽。
English: After listening to Okaru, Kanpei is determined to proceed in the hope that someday his apology will be accepted.
Japanese: お軽の言葉に、生きていればお詫びのかなう日もきっとこようと勘平も気をとりなおして道を急ぐことにする。
English: Then Bannai SAGISAKA, retainer of Ko no Moronao, appears with his followers (called "hanayoten"), besotted with Okaru, and tries to kidnap her.
Japanese: 折からそこへ高師直の家臣でかねてよりお軽に横恋慕をしている鷺坂伴内が手勢（花四天）を引きつれて登場し、お軽をさらってゆこうとする。
English: Bannai is beaten decisively in the ensuing fight and Kanpei leaves triumphantly with Okaru.
Japanese: 立回りよろしくあって伴内は散々にやっつけられ、勘平はお軽を連れて意気揚々と去ってゆく。
English: According to "Chushingura towa nanika" (What is Chushingura?) by Saiichi MARUYA, the triangle made up of Kanpei, Okaru, and Bannai mimics the one made up of the judge, Kaoyo, and Moronao.
Japanese: 丸谷才一『忠臣蔵とは何か』によれば、この勘平、お軽、伴内の三角関係は判官、顔世、師直のもどきであるという。
English: He also writes that there is a carnival-like conflict between the King of Spring (Kanpei and Hangan) and the King of Winter (Bannai and Moronao).
Japanese: 春の王（勘平判官）と冬の王（伴内師直）のカーニバル的対決の構図がここにはあるという。
English: In this play only, the curtain is pulled from right to left (the opposite of the usual direction) and it is called "sakamaku" (reversed curtain).
Japanese: この演目に限り幕が舞台下手から上手に向かって引かれ（通常は逆）、これを逆幕と称する。
English: As the curtain is drawn from right to left, it pushes Bannai to the left too, ending up with him dropping into the audience seats, which is a very rare staging.
Japanese: 判内が引かれてくる幕に押されて上手側へ逃げてゆくうちに、いつの間にか客席側へ出て幕引きになってしまうという非常にめずらしい演出がある。
English: Bannai is performed by actors with great skill, and sometimes the very highest ranked actors make a special appearance in this role ("gochiso" in Japanese), which is a pleasant surprise for the audience.
Japanese: 道化役の伴内は腕達者な俳優が受け持つが、幹部級も御馳走（特別出演）で演じることも多く客席を喜ばせる。
