This is an authentic antique Japanese Boro. "Boro" is a class of old Japanese textiles that have been mended, repaired or patched together with tradition of recycling and reworking pre-existing fabrics. The term is derived from the Japanese word "boroboro", meaning something tattered or repaired. The term 'boro' typically refers to cotton, linen and hemp materials, mostly hand-woven by peasant farmers, that have been stitched or re-woven together to create an often many-layered material used for warm, practical clothing or rugs.
This Boro textile was made with cotton and dyed with indigo. Heavily worn in and beautifully aged over long history of time and use. Great rugged antique condition with lots of patches, sashiko stitching details and full of patina, including historical imperfection and original mending throughout. Both sides of this boro show the amazing textures and rich variation of indigo colours. Use it as a curtain, bed cover or simply hang it up as a piece of art and enjoy this exquisiteness in you home.
Since this is one of a kind (antique / vintage) item, all the imperfections shown are part of its character and considered as such rare beauty that is deeply valued and appreciated. Enjoy wabi-sabi.
