Today, I went to the exhibition of BORO at the AMUSE Museum in Atsakusa. Boro was a traditional form of textile mending or repair practised in Northern Japan. The intention was to extend the life of kimono and other garments, as well as bed covers, by sewing patches of used fabric or remnants, often indigo-dyed cotton.
Below are a few of the many examples on display.
