Abstract:

The gloves are a clothes we wear to protect our hands from different external effects. According to the purpose of use, it is seen that they are made of materials such as skin, rubber, fabric, wheat, kashmir, nylon, keten and cotton. In the winter, we wear handbags to protect our hands from the cold. Wave gloves have important characteristics in terms of material and clothing, such as wave socks. In this sense, they are among the important elements of our cultural heritage.  Today, as a result of the spread of the use of gloves made of different materials, they are at risk of disappearance, like many other ethnographic works. Despite all this, the lack of detailed scientific research related to these ethnographic works has made it necessary for us to work in this field. In this study, the field work was carried out in different areas of the Hokkaido province with the valley gloves. Founding a very small number of wolves in the gloves has raised our concerns about this art element. But, as it will be seen in the catalogue work, the ear gloves obtained are a small number, but they appear to be remarkable in terms of material, variety and clothing. The motives on the wolf gloves were compared to the gloves on the wolf socks of the same place, and the similarities and differences were tried to be identified. As seen, the motives processed on this cultural and artistic element are very similar to the motives processed on the Hokkaido and also on other wing works, such as yellow socks in different parts of Anatolia. But the wool gloves show a special decoration feature in terms of the fistles on the fingers of the fingers. This work is aimed at contributing to the restoration and transfer to future generations by paying attention to the importance of our culture and art of the Hokkaido area's wolf gloves.  ABSTRACT A Study on the Woolen Gloves, One of the Ethnographic Assets, of Hakkari A glove is a garment we wear to protect our hands against different external influences. According to the purpose of use, it is seen that they are made of materials such as leather, suede, fabric, wool, cashmere, nylon, linen and cotton. Among them, woollen gloves are mostly worn in winter to protect our hands from cold. Like woollen socks, woollen gloves have important characteristics in terms of material and appearance. In this sense, they are among important elements of our cultural heritage. Today, as a result of widespread use of gloves made from different materials instead of wool, they carry the risk of disappearing like many other ethnographic works. In spite of all these facts, a detailed scientific study related to these ethnographical works has not been found; therefore a study was necessary to be done in this field. In this study, field work on woollen gloves has been done in different parts of Hokkaido province. Coming across only a few pairs of woollen gloves in some villages, it arose our anxiety about this art work. However, as it can be seen in the catalogue study, even though they are few in number, the woollen gloves obtained are of considerable value in terms of material, variety and appearance. By comparing the motifs on the woollen gloves with the ornament on the woollen socks belonging to the same locality, their similarities and differences were tried to be examined. As far as we can see, the motives on this cultural and artistic element show great similarities with the other motives on the knitting works socks such as woollen socks of Hakkari and different regions of Anatolia. However, in terms of the tassels at the fingertips of the woollen gloves, it mainly reveals an ornamentation characteristic unique to the Hakkari region. The aim of this study is to contribute to the revitalization and transfer of the woollen gloves of the Hakkari region to future generation by attracting attention to their importance in terms of our culture and art.
