Camails

Camails are a type of wrap-like item of clothing that originated in Japan. Typically made from a rectangular piece of cloth, camails are characterized by their simplicity and functionality. They were traditionally worn by women, often as a form of undergarment, and were secured in place using sashes or other fastening devices.

In the context of historical Japanese clothing, camails are understood to have been a part of the "jifu" or women's undergarment category. They were frequently seen in use concurrently with other items of traditional clothing, such as obis and hakama, and were often simple in design. Camails were made from a range of materials, including silk, cotton, and other natural fibers.

The primary function of a camail was to provide modesty and protection for the wearer. It would often be worn as a supplementary layer, situated between the skin and another article of clothing such as an obi.

It is understood that the use of camails has experienced certain decline in the modern era, particularly following the introduction of more Westernized forms of clothing. Nonetheless, research efforts have sought to identify and record more formalized meanings of camail designs, and circulating initiatives remain that encourage continued appreciation for this little-studied aspect of cultural relics.
