Khit, or khid, ((タイ語:ผ้าขิด)) is an ancient type of woven cloth produced in certain areas of Isan, the northeastern region of Thailand. ==Tradition== Khit weaving ((タイ語:ทอผ้าขิด)) is done by hand in traditional looms. It favours certain basic colors, like red, purple and dark green, although other colors are also used. It includes geometric patterns in contrasting colors, usually a darker pattern over a light background, which appears to "float" over it. There are about 72 different patterns which are mostly geometrical, although some have recognizable shapes, like fishes, elephants, or turtles. All patterns have specific traditional names. Khit is typical of Isan, while chok cloth is part of the weaving tradition of Central Thailand.〔(Handwoven Cloth )〕 Other main types of Thai hand-woven textiles are Mudmee and Yok.〔(Ninnart - Thai Textiles in Modern Society )〕 Formerly khit cloth was used in the traditional local household dress, like the shoulder cloth, as well as for pillows and bed sheets.〔(Tai textiles - Continuous Supplementary Wefts : Khit )〕 It was an ancestral custom for Isan girls to learn to weave khit cloth before getting married and produce some fine items for their future household. Nowadays local-style dress has fallen into disuse and it is confined mostly to folkloric performances or ceremonial or formal wear for men and women. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Khit」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
