@ | ||||||
Also pronounced hensan, or called fukuken-e
’¨ί, which literally means garment covering the shoulders. A long, narrow
strip of cloth worn as an undergarment by Buddhist priests, and found on
Buddhist statues. The henzan originated in Wei dynasty China.
It was worn under the *kesa
UΎ (outer robe), which was brought from India, and worn diagonally with
the right shoulder exposed *hentan
uken ΞεΦE¨. The henzan was an adaptation for the colder climate
of China to cover the exposed shoulder, and provide an extra layer of protection.
It is sometimes sewn together with the *gishi
_x to make a single undergarment. |
