They are also depicted on clay figures, <span title="Japanese-language romanization"><i lang="ja-Latn">haniwa</i></span>. The <span title="Japanese-language romanization"><i lang="ja-Latn">fundoshi</i></span> was the underwear of choice of every Japanese adult male and female, rich or poor, high or low status, until after the <a href="/wiki/World_War_II" title="World War II">Second World War</a>, when <a href="/wiki/Americanization" title="Americanization">Americanization</a> popularized elasticized undergarments.<sup id="cite_ref-4" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> There are several types of <span title="Japanese-language romanization"><i lang="ja-Latn">fundoshi</i></span>, including <span title="Japanese-language romanization"><i lang="ja-Latn">rokushaku</i></span>, <span title="Japanese-language romanization"><i lang="ja-Latn">kuroneko</i></span>, <span title="Japanese-language romanization"><i lang="ja-Latn">mokko</i></span> and <span title="Japanese-language romanization"><i lang="ja-Latn">etchū</i></span>.<sup id="cite_ref-:1_3-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:1-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>The <span title="Japanese-language romanization"><i lang="ja-Latn">fundoshi</i></span> comes in several basic styles. The most relaxed type consists of a strip of cloth, wound around the hips, secured at the small of the back by knotting or twisting, with the excess brought forward between the legs, and tucked through the cloth belt in front to hang as an <a href="/wiki/Apron" title="Apron">apron</a>. </p><p>The second style, for people who are active, is formed when the cloth is wound around the hips so that there is an excess of an apron, which is brought back again between the legs and twisted around the belt-cloth in the back. The <span title="Japanese-language romanization"><i lang="ja-Latn">rokushaku fundoshi</i></span> is a length of cloth, the dimensions being one <span title="Japanese-language romanization"><i lang="ja-Latn"><a href="/wiki/Shaku_(unit)" title="Shaku (unit)">shaku</a></i></span> (30.3 cm (11.9 in)) wide and six <span title="Japanese-language romanization"><i lang="ja-Latn">shaku</i></span> (1.818 m (5 ft 11.6 in)) long; <span title="Japanese-language romanization"><i lang="ja-Latn">roku</i></span> is <a href="/wiki/Japanese_language" title="Japanese language">Japanese</a> for 'six', hence <span title="Japanese-language romanization"><i lang="ja-Latn">roku-shaku</i></span>. The <span title="Japanese-language romanization"><i lang="ja-Latn">fundoshi</i></span> is often twisted to create a <a href="/wiki/Thong" title="Thong">thong</a> effect at the back. It was also the standard male bathing suit. Male children learning to swim during the early 1960s were often told to wear this kind of <span title="Japanese-language romanization"><i lang="ja-Latn">fundoshi</i></span> because a boy in trouble could be easily lifted out of the water by the back cloth of his <span title="Japanese-language romanization"><i lang="ja-Latn">fundoshi</i></span>.<sup id="cite_ref-:1_3-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:1-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>The third style, called <span title="Japanese-language romanization"><i lang="ja-Latn"><a href="/wiki/Etch%C5%AB_Province" title="Etchū Province">Etchū</a> fundoshi</i></span>, which originated in the vicinity of <a href="/wiki/Toyama_Prefecture" title="Toyama Prefecture">Toyama Prefecture</a>, is a long rectangle of cloth with tapes at one narrow end. <span title="Japanese-language romanization"><i lang="ja-Latn">Etchū fundoshi</i></span> is a length of cloth; however, it has a strip of material at the waist to form a fastening or string. The dimensions are 14 inches (360 mm) width by about 40 inches (1,000 mm) length, and it is tied with the material strip in front of the body. One ties the tapes around the hips, with the cloth at the small of the back, and then pulls the cloth between the legs and through the belt, letting the remainder hang as an apron. Such <span title="Japanese-language romanization"><i lang="ja-Latn">fundoshi</i></span> was issued to Japanese troops in World War II, and often were the sole garb of <a href="/wiki/Allies_of_World_War_II" title="Allies of World War II">Allied</a> <a href="/wiki/Prisoner_of_war" title="Prisoner of war">POWs</a> in tropic areas. The best material for this is white linen or white cotton. Silk crepe may be used according to one's taste, but plain silk is not suitable. In winter it may be lined with similar material, but in other seasons it is always single. Both ends (or front and back) are hemmed to put cords through. One of the cords forms a loop to suspend the front end from the neck, and the other secures the back end by being tied in the front.<sup id="cite_ref-:1_3-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:1-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Variations">Variations</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Fundoshi&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Variations"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Hadaka_Matsuri_small.JPG" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/a/ab/Hadaka_Matsuri_small.JPG/220px-Hadaka_Matsuri_small.JPG" decoding="async" width="220" height="176" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/a/ab/Hadaka_Matsuri_small.JPG/330px-Hadaka_Matsuri_small.JPG 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/a/ab/Hadaka_Matsuri_small.JPG/440px-Hadaka_Matsuri_small.JPG 2x" data-file-width="1118" data-file-height="892" /></a><figcaption>Participants receiving purification by water at the <a href="/wiki/Hadaka_Matsuri" title="Hadaka Matsuri">naked festival</a> in <a href="/wiki/Okayama" title="Okayama">Okayama</a>.</figcaption></figure> <p>There are many other varieties of <span title="Japanese-language romanization"><i lang="ja-Latn">fundoshi</i></span> as there are many variations on the principle of a loincloth.
