boro tapestry
Boro textiles are the result of a folk mending process. Nineteenth and early twentieth century patches of hand loomed indigo dyed cotton are embroidered together with sashiko stitches. Often unplanned in their design and utilitarian in their nature, they are sought after for their beauty and simplicity. The prefect embodiment of wabi-sabi
This boro textile is made with three overlapped panels of kasuri, a Japanese form of Ikat. The warp and weft threads are dyed before weaving to create variations in the pattern.
