Cloth that accompanied people's lives for generations, "BORO": anonymous handwork born of poverty that deeply moves those who see it.

In the farming and fishing villages of old Japan, precious cloth was finely pieced together and reborn as futons and clothing, and people continued to use it with care in their daily lives. These textiles, which have disappeared from everyday life today, are now highly valued as "BORO" in the world of art and textiles.

This book carefully selects about 500 pieces from more than 1,000 items the author collected over 35 years, introducing a world of beauty that anonymous craftspeople created without intending to.

Bilingual Japanese and English.
