About the Item

A collection of late 19th/early 20th century indigo dyed ‘boro’ cloth fragments. Japanese, c. 1900. Mounted on anthracite grey card in box frames with black open grain wooden frames. From the Japanese ‘boroboro’, meaning something tattered or repaired, ‘boro’ is the practice of reworking and repairing textiles (often clothes or bedding) through patching and stitching, in order to extend their life.
