About the Item

Material: cotton Width 1550 x Height 1700 x Depth 10 mm (about) weight 5 kg estimate Packaging (It will be rolled or folded and shipped in bubble wrap and cardboard.) 50cm x 50cm x 20cm, weight 10kg This cloth was used for futons and clothing in private homes, such as those owned by local farmers. It is called "Boro," and is a beautiful, tasteful vintage cloth. Back then, new cloth was not easy to come by, so tears had to be repaired over and over again. You can really feel the spirit of cherishing things. A variety of vintage cloths, including indigo-dyed and patterned pieces, have been put together like a patchwork. How about using it as a wall hanging, etc.? It has been washed, so there is no particular odor. As it is vintage cloth, dust will fly up when you spread it out. Please understand that there may be tears, repairs, and holes. ▲▲ Notes ▲▲ *In order to build a relationship of trust with our customers, please be sure to contact us via the inquiry form before purchasing.
