Early 20th Century Japanese Kasuri Cotton Sheet with Boro Patchwork
Boro is a Japanese textile made of repurposed fabrics. The Japanese folk art movement highly valued pieces like this because they embodied yō no bi, which means "beauty in practicality". These patchwork textiles were often made into futonji, noragi and other household pieces.
Patches of indigo striped, plaid and solid-colored early 20th century fabric make up this boro futonji. Each piece of fabric is secured with cotton stitching for durability.
