What is “BORO”?
The story dates back to more than 100 years ago, when fabric was a valuable commodity in the Meiji Era.
The kimonos, work kimono, underwear, and even bedding used by common people were used until they were worn out, then patched up again for reuse...
Clothes that have been made through this process repeatedly over decades, or even hundreds of years, are called BORO.
Today, the value and appeal of BORO as art are recognized around the world.
