SEARCHING FOR BORO IN JAPAN
Carolyn and Roderick travelled to Japan for a couple of weeks in search of beautiful textiles. They brought back a selection of Boro textiles which you can see in the below images. Excitement levels were at all time high when they arrived, we think they provide so much inspiration.
Boro derives from the Japanese term boroboro, meaning something tattered or repaired. Boro textiles are mended or patched textiles from Japan. Born out of necessity they were stitched together by rural peasant women who would mend, conceal and patch the holes and tears in their family’s work clothes and frayed futon covers.
