Japanese brown boro cloth by JESS MAYBURY
Patched and repaired fine cotton panels
185 x 185 cm
1920s
Patched and repaired fine cotton panels. Traditional Japanese boro, recycling old fabric and creating new pieces from remnants. The fine cotton weave, prints and stitching all show traditions of the time. Boro textiles have gained popularity due to their stitch work and composition but are testaments to people's devotion to not wasting anything in the home especially from the homes of hard working people who could not afford to waste fine fabrics.
