BORO

A piece that has been used and repaired countless times over many years.

The red-based side features a rich landscape that evokes the layers of time, with faded checkered patterns, countless sashiko stitches, and numerous repair marks overlapping. The different fabrics and colors peeking through the worn areas create a unique scene born from chance overlapping.

On the other hand, the indigo-based side has a quiet and serene presence. The rhythm created by the delicate sashiko stitches and the shadows woven by the fading and wear from years of use are beautiful, giving it a deep sense of depth.

Each side possesses a different charm, making this a rare piece that works well no matter which side you use. You can enjoy its changing appearance depending on the setting, the season, or your mood.

When hung on a wall, it becomes a piece of fabric art; when placed in a space, this vintage fabric brings a quiet presence. We hope you can appreciate the unique texture of well-worn fabric and the traces of the countless handiwork of countless people.
